Walter, this is exactly what I had in mind. In the case I envisioned there
would be NO CASH VALUE LOST, because there would be no selling or even
distribution of the experiment. There would only be "tinkering" --to use an
old timey term--to learn and improve. Absolutely no plagerism or stealing
for gain was to be considered in my inquiry. Unless one would consider
learning as a form of theft--there, that is beyond my comprehension

I think the concept of "tort" or proven harm or damage is not understood,
but I am not a lawyer, just an amateur with some common sense.

Regards,

Ralph
