What I would like to know what percentage royalties Clarinet Corp. will
be paying to the authors of the news transport and news reading software.

Larry Wall's excellent program "rn" carries a copyright:

	You may copy this program so long as you don't try to make
	money off of it...

I'm sure the b-news and c-news people may feel the same way.

Has Clarinet Corp. written news transport and news reading software from
scratch?  I doubt it.
