Dunno that you're obliged to say it. ;) I-also-ANAL, but I am a student, which means my information is probably even shakier than anyone else's. I only chime in because as best I understand it, once having found a violator the rights holder must act to protect said rights; failing to do so may be construed as similar to consent. I-most-definitely-ANAL, but I'd look closely. I think that's what C&D orders are all about; even if they don't stop the infringement they put you on record as opposing it. All in all, maybe worth passing on to relevant qualified legal counsel. HTH. I'm not even on a windows box any more, but I monitor this list 'cause cygwin rocked my world when I really needed it. beau -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCaswek9YbpMuALNkRAqsPAKCDis225qkc7q4mDKHurlzuhrek1wCeK51P JE0LXfvw4XG9tZpSsIYoPek= =PIYP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
