renaming non-us to "patented" would be like waving a red flag at a bull(*). sure, everyone knows that patent issues are one of the reasons for the existence of non-US but it doesn't do anyone any good to go out of our way to invite legal attacks. better to call it "free-world" :) (*) yes, i know bulls go for the motion and not the colour, but the phrase sounds better than "gesticulating with a piece of cloth of indeterminate colour at a male animal of the bovine persuasion". craig -- craig sanders
