Don't get too happy. That isn't actually true, that they have to provide source. The most that they can be legally compelled to do is to stop distributing it, possibly pay damages (if you could show any), and perhaps punitive damages if you could convince a court that they distributed it maliciously, or something like that. -- Zan Lynx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
