In this case you'll have little problem getting a court order that orders distribution of binaries to stop. Depending on the case, penalties are easy enough to come by. "My wife shredded all that stuff" is not seen as a valid defense in other business matters, so this would be no difference. Due diligence can be expected of business people. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
