My lawyers will be contacting you about using my patented code in your
unlicensed demonstration. The blatant use of the well known, trademarked
variable names floozle, wonkle, fleeble and zorbnat are only licensed to
approved partners. wubba wubba is patented in the US and Canada with
patents pending in UK, Japan and Asia. I have consulted with SCO and we
concur that everything you have ever done is in violation of anything we
might have done as soon as we can print some paperwork to prove we
thought about doing something similar. Stuff like pressing buttons with
letters on them to make similar looking letters appear on a tv-screen
like device.


It's Friday.
