Hi again Stephen,       [This post of November 9 didn't fully propagate]

     About "SBBS/W32 Kermit SABOTAGE" of November 8:

     When sarcasm comes from all sides, it can be really hard to tell...

SH> You are offering a GPL incompatible licence to use protocols they

     *I* am offering!?...  8-o  Never mind, even when that's lawyer talk
and it shuts down some of my cognitive functions, euh...  i still manage
to get the point so, i didn't imply that MicroSoft pretends to own copy-
rights over Columbia's `Kermit' at all.  Me, offering a ~GPL~ licence?!?

SH> Microsoft IS ON THAT PAGE offering you the right to implement the
SH> Kermit protocol...  ...yet another misunderstanding...

     Indeed, i think they just advised users to check licensing with the
rightful owner which is being Columbia in `Kermit's case, it would seem.

     To provide instructions regarding SysOp BBS SoftWare was never part
of the deal, as far as i'm concerned:  each person, SysOp and BBSer, was
supposed to contribute with what he knew best...  In any case, i'll take
your word for what it is and see how it goes;  don't miss the next post.
