Subject: RE: Copyright of data

Putting code "in escrow" isn't to protect the vendor, but to
protect the customer in case the vendor goes "belly up".

Or so I always thought anyway.

I think the simple way to handle copyright is to just not
distribute the source code.

But isn't it possible to decompile an object without the source code?

Happy New Year.
