Re: Re: FYI from the I-D factory

FE> Doug should patent this idea if there's no prior art.  Bye.

Publishing the "Doug should patent this idea" message to this list
places the idea into the public domain, making it no longer
patentable, FYI...

(well - given the pathetic track record of the patent office; they
would probably grant the patent anyway - but it would never be
*enforceable* afterwards...)
