I pointed out that the article doesn't say what you claimed. I can certainly see where you, fact-challenged as you are where MS is concerned, would find this to be a "strange semantic argument". They are -NOT- suing TT "for using Linux". Or for using "an implementation of Linux". They are suing for alleged patent violations. That is not by any stretch of anyone's imagination equivalent to "MS Sues TomTom for Using Linux". Now, unless I say something first, you are going to try to paint me as having said that I approve of the suit. So here it is: I don't. Based on what little information is actually in the article, it seems very foolish,. But your summary of it was wrong. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
