That, I'm afraid, is something that I can't give you. :-)  I'm not THAT
interested in the legal issues, so I don't follow them to that degree.  I was
mearly (sp?) passing along something that I had read some time ago, and I'll
be the first to admit that I could be in error about it.  My suggestion that
you talk to a lawer about it still stands, however.  He/she could do a much
better job of giving you the information that you want then I could, at any
rate.
