If you license a patent, it needs to be to all users of the software, without strings attached. Since someone who hacks part of the driver into their favorite text editor would still be a user of the software, they need to be included too. If they're not, then strings are attached. -- Brian Ristuccia [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
