Suppose that I was one of those "few folks" that grabbed HDB during it's shorted-lived appearance on the STORE. Since no restrictions have ever been placed on any of the stuff that I've gotten from the STORE, am I now free to distribute copies of HDB? How about this scenario: suppose someone who had been able to download HDB set up a shell script to take all of the stuff they had gotten from the STORE and post it to unix-pc.sources. Could that person be taken to court by ATT for posting licensed software even though they received the software from ATT without any license restrictions? PLEASE NOTE: this posting should not be mis-construed as a statement to the effect that I am in possession of a copy of HDB. Do not send me messages requesting a copy of HDB. I am simply playing a game of "what if". -- David H. Brierley Home: dave@galaxia.zone1.com ...!rayssd!galaxia!dave Work: dhb@rayssd.ray.com {sun,decuac,cbosgd,gatech,necntc,ukma}!rayssd!dhb
