<DIV></DIV><BR>I would like to add my voice to request for patent info.
We have (had ?) every intention of running Ptp on some of our products and are
far down the development road. I am in the middle of sorting out other
GPL license issues when finally looked at the patent note and now see your
e-mails.<BR><BR>We would be very interested in knowing whether the original
code on sourceforge (by Kendall) breaches any patents. I do have access
to a team of lawyers ( I work for very large corporation) , but I want
to find out a little more if I can, or at least be able to direct them
better.<BR><BR>Much
appreciated<BR><BR>Gertjan<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>==================================================<BR>Gertjan
