Hi, Francis- I'm assuming you're not serious, but in case you are, you might consider that your lawyers will happily take your money even if they know that your lawsuit is groundless and fruitless.
You should also show your lawyers the EULA that comes with ASV: * "Adobe makes no warranty as to its use or performance." * "Adobe has not promised or guaranteed to you that Pre-release Software will be announced or made available to anyone in the future, that Adobe has no express or implied obligation to you to announce or introduce the Pre-release Software and that Adobe may not introduce a product similar to or compatible with the Pre-release Software. Accordingly, you acknowledge that any research or development that you perform regarding the Pre-release Software or any product associated with the Pre-release Software is done entirely at your own risk." * "IN NO EVENT WILL ADOBE OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DAMAGES, CLAIMS OR COSTS WHATSOEVER OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OR ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF AN ADOBE REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS, DAMAGES, CLAIMS OR COSTS OR FOR ANY CLAIM BY ANY THIRD PARTY." In addition, I cannot see how a lawsuit against any of those parties, frivolous or not, could do anything but harm SVG. In any case, you're starting to tread on libelous grounds, and as list admin, I'll have to ask you to take this off-topic talk to another forum. This is SVG-Developers, not SVG-Lawyers.
