Geeze that sounds like a lot of hassle to protect IP Bob :/ What's going on
over there in the states ? - litigation heaven - they seem to be taking
things too seriously.

If someone around here told me they owned my work on Maximus or any hobby
Open Source stuff I'm involved/participate in, I'd tell them to get fucked.
I'd release all my code un-authored, or "owned by FSF" so they
couldn't prove squat. Heh.
