Because it is direct competition, and that is why they bought it tobegin with. Why do you think they filed the law suit against gw micro?

Why doesn't the vfo group put out a working copy of window eyes in the publicdomain? This is what Freedom Scientific did with jaws for dos.

Thanks, Carol.

That's what I assume, and so why I'm counselling caution about distributingWindow-Eyes even though VFO claims that it will no longer be developed.Besides, being their product, they can do whatever they want with Window-Eyesin the future, even resurrect it, should they choose to do so.


Best,

Rod

Hi Rod,

Yes, you are correct.  Even if the company is gone, the copywright is
still there.  It is the same as a person writing a book.  The book can
be copywrighted for as long as someone wishes to keep it going.  So, AI
may have forwarded the copywright which would now fall on VFO to
continue to maintain that, even though the product is no longer being
distributed.

 Hi Russ and all,

 As memory serves, you do have to enter the correct name when you install
 Window-Eyes.
 Regardless whether I'm right about that point, as much as this thread
 seems to entertain the idea of sharing retail copies of Window-Eyes, I
 think you'll run into copyright infringement if you do this.

 Hth,

 Rod

 It's my understanding it doesn't matter what name you put in, it's the
 serial number that matters.

 Only sort of.  The serial number is assigned to a specific person, so
 the name and any other information that is asked for during installation
 would need to be the same for both people. So, if you gave me your copy
 and did not tell me your information, your copy, on my PC would still be
 a demo copy.
