It says that UCLA was sued by B.V. Engineering for making illegal copies of it's programs. The judge dismissed the case because UCLA was a state institution and therefore was not subject to federal copyright laws. This is disturbing, and could seriously affect sales of software to any university in the future. Has anyone more current information about this situation? #include Patrick Wolfe Internet: pat@kai.com System Manager UUCP: ...!{seismo,ihnp4,uiucuxc}!kai.com!pat Kuck & Associates, Inc.
