As I understand it ... * In the USA the Unisys patent expired on 20 June 2003 * In Europe it expired on 18 June 2004 * In Japan it expired on 20 June 2004 * In Canada it expired on 7 July 2004 Last of all, the U.S. IBM patent expired 11 August 2006. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
