  I want to see what the basis of the suit is before I decide on the
moral issues. Just because PKware is small doesn't give them any more
(or less) rights to use others software or patented ideas. I would like
to get details of this before I say that there's no justification.

  Not a defense of SEAware, just a suggestion that we wait to see what
the basis of the suit is and if it's valid.
