I'd like to read more about what "rights" we think we have in this. It seems pretty clear-cut to me. IBM owns this stuff and they're trying to protect it. The patent laws are the patent laws. Retroactively applying some socialistic philosphy to the issue does not change IBM's rights nor the law. While I agree with many of the opinions concerning what should happen and have posted my opinion regarding IBM's seemingly short-sighted strategy, I cannot and will not support a movement to ignore the law and deny anyone's right to protect their property. Without any political nor philosophical preaching, what specific "rights" do we have in this matter ???? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
