There is already a precedent against this sort of legal manipulaltion. It was either Nintendo or Sega against a cartridge manufacturer. XX had designed their system so that it would check the first 500 bytes of code in a cartridge and if it wasn't a particular program that displayed a ''Licensed by XX'', the cartridge would not work. The plan was abuse copyright and trademark law in order to engage in anticompetetive lock-in. IE, to require payment from people wishing to produce games, people who didn't pay would be forced to commit 'trademark and copyright infringement'. The lock-in failed. http://www.lgu.com/cr46.htm Scott ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
