In some European countries there are laws that force you (or the seller) to pay a given amount of every sold 'medium' (e.g. blank CD) to some author organisation (that will pay it according to some key back to the authors). To this day I was very reluctant to copy CD's for my friends, because I thought this was illegal. But because I've already paid some money to the authors, I'll further assume that this copying is legal? (BTW: I heard that in some country you'll be probably forced to pay this 'tax' even from hard disks....(you can story music on HD, don't you;-)
Even Anheiser-Busch has to refrain from selling a beer called
Budweiser in some markets, because that name was already taken
This is completely another case, seems to me
you don't drink Czech beer. Anheiser-Bush named their beer
because Budweiser got a synonym for a beer in some
parts of the world. It is logical, that the original brewery got somewhat angry about it, especially when Anheiser registred it as trademark. Seems to me 'prior act' didn't fit in here? (word Budweiser comes from a name of a city).
The problem with GNU is, that it applies to all software and not only to one product, that's why GNU software would cause misinterpretation. I don't think thie thing with SAMBA couldcause somone to intergchange it.

>Do not buy the Tapes with a MIC (in cartridge memory), ARKEIA does not use it..(nor does tar, BRU, etc.
It does, the mt fsf 10 takes about quarter of time with MIC. If you rewind tape often, it quite useful.
WinCE Toolkit = $190, Visual C++ = much more. Pretty expensive to write a "Hello world" type apps.
