They won't risk having to pull 8.0 off the shelves over some copyright / patent issue. P.S. I can think of another patent violation in a common free software app. When I asked the coders about it, they said their policy was to keep silent and act surprised when/if they'd get a legal suit. I guess I'll keep silent as well :) ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
