A willing dupe with a greedy lawyer.  There've been some cases of ridiculous
suits making it into court because some larcenous lawsmith started seeing
green... and the company I work for can't afford some yip suing us because a
system we sell happens to include some Perl scripts and the yip thinks he can
sue us into giving him the whole system for free courtesy of the GPV.

If any of our customers even *threatens* this there'll be h*ll to pay....
