I understand what you mean, but then when the lawyers get involved, it puts
a monkey wrench in the words. Pam.

Hi Olusegun,
Thank you for confirming this.
From what I have read about VFO they will have a very tight agreement with
the ex GW-Micro key partners and employees. I understand that competing
products are not their favoured option and VFO lawyers will do all they can
to prevent any deviation from their wishes.
If Doug etc. will have the energy to start again and potentially hit legal
buffers from VFO can only be left to their decision.
As far as my use of software over many years is concerned the demise of
Window-Eyes was the most dissapointing change that has occured.
This seems a strange concept for the USA as competition is usually the way
to improve productivity and reduce prices.
Regards, John

John, you are absolutely right! Sometimes, once a company has been bought
and sold, the previous owner(s) may not even be allowed to ever start
another business in the same market. It all depends on how the lawyers word
the signed agreement(s) and whether or not the signed document(s) is/are
acceptable to the seller(s).
It's possible that Doug may never again touch Window-Eyes, but, if he so
desires and has sufficient financial backing, he could CREATE A BRAND-NEW
accessible something and name it whatever he cares!
A case in point: After Arkenstone, developer of Openbook died, its previous
owner created Bookshare!
Law is a donkey, and it does a poor job of riding itself to town! Looks
good on paper, but a trillion loopholes for any person who cares to give it
a shake.
Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado
