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.
