I am tempted to ask -- how can they hold you to a document they never forced you to read? Do the licences for the other pieces even *mention* the SCSL? If you do not know from reading the materials that came with your tools that they are holding you to something else as well, I think they would be hard-pressed to make it hold. Of course, they have more money than I do, so a long trial would hurt them much less than it would hurt me. :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?
