What they do now in most cases is let the company that developed the software under contract retain all rights except for a non-exclusive license granted to the government.

I suspect that the congressmen want to make this arrangement compulsory. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
