None of them seem to be acting as container and containee at the same time. For example, amiga can be a containee, but it's never a container for anything (as far as we know). In fact, we only know one label that is used as container, possibly two if #5 exists. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
