My Sanyo Xacti HD-1010 has no such clause in the manual :-D Reminds me of the 802.11 WiFi standard. Everyone started using it willy-nilly and it became a massive industry standard without anyone realising (or caring) that the Australian CSIRO group had a patent on it. The result - the CSIRO eventually won last year and now every company who sells a WiFi product now has to pay the CSIRO royalties. Dave.
