(erielack) Regarding "slightly off topic"

["SGL" <tiptop344_@_verizon.net>]

>From another list, the "licen" list I referred to recently:

************* supplies this rather interesting article on the subject. One thing that makes it
rather interesting is that someone IS going to take UP to court apparently. With the US Supreme
Court seeming to side against the concept of exclusive rights by a trademark owner in the Dec 2004
decision, [ perhaps they came to understand that trademarks actually are functional rather than
analogous to property like with a copyright ] it seems rather stupid for someone with very deep
pockets to put itself at risk . . . . .

Erielack listers, read this to see how out-of-control this all gets to be.
