I have no data upon which to make a judgement as to the probability of my lawyer doing anything. The implication I took away from your words earlier in this thread is that _no_ lawyer is going to permit this homework to be published. Maybe Intel's lawyers differ with IBM's lawyers on this point. I wouldn't know. But all you're hearing from me is an echo of your own assertions, not a concurrence. -- Matthew Wilcox Intel Open Source Technology Centre "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
