What part was I incorrect one? I did not say the lawsuit was without merit - I'm simply stating that a lawsuit isn't proof until the case has been proven in a court of law. That has not yet happened. Until it has, let's not say we have proof. We frequently do not get the whole story, nor do we understand the fine print and the legalities associated with them. Heck, even the GPL has never been tested in a court of law so we don't even have proof that it's a legally-binding contract. Now take into account that there are numerous jurisdictions involved, and we're a far way from anybody haven proven anything. I'm not a lawyer, you're obviously not a lawyer, and we're probably both better off :-) -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
