     Yet the likes of Oracle and EA seem to manage well enough despite
of all of your bitching and moaning. This "problem" of yours only ever
manifests itself whenever you try to take someone else's property and
treat it as if it were your own.

     Avoid doing that and all of your ranting becomes completely moot.

     Use someone else's code in a commercial product and you better be
prepared to read and understand the fine print. Big news there (not)!
