Anthony,
Can you tell me where you found this info? I can't think that Fraunhofer
would do this, so it might be someone else. Though, they really invented
it, which means they have the right to do so. I just don't get it how
others could've so readily jumped this train if Fraunhofer owned it... MORE
INPUT !

Not a bad idea.
