Thus spake Bruce J.A. Nourish ("BJN> ") sometime Yesterday...

BJN> I'm taking this interlude to ask a question: what should we do about

BJN> prohibits use and distribution in modified form. By FCC regulations,

Did the FCC develop the software?  If not, what business do they have saying
that the software cannot be released?  Or am I missing the blatantly obvious
(i.e. that they do, in fact, somehow own the driver)?
