In Bill Davison's posting, SEA writes:

     "4) As the legal owner of the ARC trademark, we are bound by US
         trademark laws to protect and maintain the integrity of ARC
         in any program that uses the ARC trademark .  To comply with
         this, we must ask for fully commented source code."
               --------------------------------------------
What author would be willing to give the competition fully commented
source code and in addition feel comfortable in believing:

        "We will keep your source code completely confidential if you so
         desire, and we will not make use of any of your source code
         in any of our products."

None that I know.
