AFAIK, Passport EULA make documents ORIGINATING FROM a service using Passport have the double licence (the original one and the Microsoft one). there was a lot of talks about it on slashdot... I don't know if the EULA is still the same or has been chanced to something more sane, but ownership can only be granted if someone using hotmail SENDS something (quotes/full messages, his own messages,...) But again, curent EULA has to be checked to see if they did not backpedal !!! -- Denis Moreaux ICQ# 2012432 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] HTTP: http://endor.yi.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
