A bunch of us got quoted in an article on Code Editors vs. IDEs.

Wonder how that happened? ;-)

BTW, Thanks Maggie!

Could a quote like mine trigger a BSA audit for our company?

We were contacted Tuesday September 16th for a BSA audit. I had assumed that an employee dismissed the week before had called them. However, the "obvious" person denies having called them, and he doesn't typically lie. We dismissed a number of people that day, so it is possible another dismissed employee could have called.

I know some companies might get advance copies of magazine articles, but I was skeptical that anyone would get it 6 days in advance.

To be completely clear, Maggie, the OptimizeIt!/JBuilder quote was in reference to my using it at a prior employer. At that employer, we were fully licensed for JBuilder Enterprise, for several seats.

My current employer, iSoft, Inc., does not use JBuilder, and we are not currently in the process of any Java software development. I downloaded an eval version of JBuilder in May/June when I started there, but this version was dated, expired, and has since been removed from my system.

My concern is that my boss will think that my quotes in a magazine could have triggered the audit. If he carries this too far, it could be serious.

That put my mind at ease. I thought I heard in the hall that this was trigged by some "automatic" check by some vendor.
