   What I would like to know what percentage royalties Clarinet Corp. will

Brad is not distributing rn itself; rather, he is only distributing
some sort of library which may be linked against it, or which may be
run standalone without rn.  (Check for yourself; I just re-read the
comp.newprod articles very very carefully to be sure.)

QED: Brad is not making money off of rn itself; the users who read
clari.* may be using it, but they are *spending* money, and they are
free to use any news-reading interface they wish.
