My very pesimistic outlook on legislation like this is that the legislators are in the pockets of industry which seeks to patent and license just about everything. This is very evident in the field of computers and software. Putting this together with GM research (not the least of which is the "Terminator") it follows that industry seeks to control every facit of every industry. Its the ultimate form of capitalism and extortion (synonyms?). -dave _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
