Perhaps PK is obeying the terms of the out-of-court settlement
agreement, which forbid making any such statement?

This is false.  Oral arguments were heard 9 Sept. on the contempt
motion filed by SEA, and an evidentiary hearing was held 30 Sept.  The
judge has taken the motion under advisement, and no ruling had been
made as of last evening, 10 Oct.  These facts were posted by Phil Katz'
attorney Nick Kees, in a message on the Exec-PC BBS, in response to
reports of blatantly incorrect information emanating from USENET.
