At the risk of opening old wounds, after what happened with Howard Rogers, I think it's a brave Oracle employee who participates in "extra-curricular" activities that involve the products of their employer. We are richer for it when it happens (thanks Pete, Vladimir), but I don't blame anyone at Oracle for their discretion. Ciao Fuzzy :-) (And yes, I can give you a dissertation on how the work-for-hire doctrine under Australian copyright and employment law works. Whether or not this leads you to form the same "abuse of process" conclusions against Oracle as I did, is entirely a matter for the reader :-) ). -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Grant Allen INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
