To a bunch of Corporate lawyer-type people with little or nothing to do except read and get back to you or me...

Though this doesn't mean they will... A good friend of mine, a Computer/Technology Lawyer with a PhD in CS and Case Law... has been working on a similar document.

If he contacts you, please say thank you.... :)

Thanks. Be interested to see what the lawyers have to say. The\r\ncontract and copyright aspects in particular would be interesting to get\r\nlegal gloss on.

\r\n\r\n

Regards forwarding this elsewhere: I've already been contacted by\r\nNewsForge who are offering to run a cleaned-up version of this, likely\r\ntomorrow if I can clean it up tonight. Which is about right. The main\r\nplace I'd like to get this is to IBM -- I think there are a few insights\r\nwhich might help them (I'm vain that way). SCO may be interested in\r\ngiving it a read as well -- if they can be convinced to quit while\r\nthey're well behind, so much the better.

As Ashton noted, it's a good one.
