I'm not a lawyer but it seems to me that what Dr.Steinman is trying

would fall under the provisions since he is attempting to create an

The problem here is can you afford to test the case in a court ?
Anyone want to take on MS and whether or not their license agreements
are enforceable ?
Or Apple ? Or REAL ?
Can you afford the lengthy lawsuit it would take, appeals, etc ?
Unfortunately the cost of testing this might be so prohibitive that
the person with the deepest pockets wins
