  Please quote source for this info. I have never seen a report of the
price paid for Xerox rights being even a million. That's not a big chunk
of anything at Apple. I have seen $250-400k frequently in articles about
the Apple-Microsoft lawsuit.

  Note that I am not claiming the poster is wrong, just noting that I
would like a source I could verify.
