DRI settled with Apple long ago, so Gem is in the clear.

BTW just because the case is going to trial DOESN'T mean that Apple has
won.  Far from it.  It just means that judge did not feel that a summary
judgement could be made, and that all the facts do need to be heard, as
well as additional testimony.  This case will be very interesting to follow.
My personal feeling is that final decision will be against Apple, especially
since the judge's preliminary finding stated that copyright protection was
involved, and not patent protection.
