Damn!  I already finished writing the code.  Ah, well.  One more  
orphaned project on the rubbish heap.  I've got dozens of them.

It seems so wierd to think that you could be sued for writing original  
code.  There is something distinctly "anti-progress" about that.  Is  
anybody on the list living in a country that does not honor software  
copyrights?  I once saw some code that had been developed by  
programmers in philidelphia who were working "under contract" to a  
firm in Tel Aviv to sidestep the US encryption export laws.  Never  
mind that both firms had the same owners.
