And the rumor mill has it that XEROX was willing to "go to bat" for DRI
if it did ever go to court.  It is a real shame that it didn't.  This is an
important issue, and has some very important legal ramifications for 
Windows developers.  I think Apple would liked to have seen it go to court 
as well; not that I think they wanted to "sue DRI", but that they wanted
to establish the precedence.
