	Hmmm... I have a simple request.  Please be very careful
discussing patents (preferably do not post/disucss them) here on the
geda-* mailing list (use private e-mail).  IANAL and I don't think
that anybody here is a laywer either.  Furthermore if somebody here is
going to intentionally workaround a patent and does not get it right,
the damages for willful infringment are triple.

	I generally follow advice that I have been given in my
professional career:  "Don't look at patents; ignorance is better".
You may disagree with this advice, but I would rather not get tained by
or have anybody else get tained by any discussions here.  Thank you.

PS. Please see a real patent laywer if you are concerned about a patent.
