Folks, about a year ago this conference was all a-buzz about the Mark
Williams company's byte order swapping software patent. I remember at
the time that various FSF folk were trying to gather data to be used
in invalidating the patent, and FSF felt that the patent was a threat
to the GNU OS project.

What ever happened? Does MWC still hold the patent? Is it still valid?
Have they tried to enforce it?

I've been away from this newsgroup for quite a while, so I lost track
of the outcome. If anyone could give me some idea about what's going
on, and whether my boycott of MWC products (on this basis) is still
based on a valid complaint, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Norm.
