  Another case where a company just inquired about the possibility of a
copy and all the alarmists on the net started crying about their rights
being violated.

  Next time there's a silly rumor maybe people will wait for a statement
of fact before they start mourning the death of freedom again. 

  There are real and serious issues in the area of programming freedom
versus making the capitalist system work. I would really rather worry
about the real issues than read condemnations of companies for things
they didn't do, or discussions of court cases which were sealed.
