First of all, I will try to avoid the speculation on why you would put such a "We don't really care, go ahead sue us..." sentence in my mouth. I noticed, that you were definitely angry at something. SONY does take the GPL very seriously and believe me, there are a lot of people here "Open Source" minded, who you have insulted for absolutely no reason.
Also, the GSCube (you referred to it as GSQ) is no secret and was not a secret since SigGraph2000, (again, I refrain from speculating why you tought it was a secret, I most definitely have not even implied it), you could have seen the "*REAL TIME* Matrix" in our booth back in New Orleans...
Your comment on how "I'm forced to use Windows at work" is again a bit out-of-touch, I work with 4 computers, *ALL* of them running Linux. I do have a laptop though (the same one I had with me on the plane) having dual-boot, but even on the Win2000 I mostly use VMware's Workstation to run Linux... Yes, on the plane I was using CodeWarrior for Palm running under Windows.
Your comment on "I showed him the merits of properly coding C" is well put, I'm glad you think highly of yourself, I thought the same thing of you. And thank you for showing me that I have to call LstDrawList()... What other merits you are referring to I have no idea... But you definitely helped me and I thank you for that.
Your "Many years of study with ancient Tibetan masters" should have helped with your observation on the overhead bins to see, we had 2 carry-ons and a plastic bag full of the higly appreciated Linux gifts which I was bringing back to SONY.
(By the way, yes, I helped other passengers with their baggages, but I don't claim them as mine just because of it)
Again, I do agree that violating a GPL is a serious problem and must be dealt with appropriately, but so is giving false or distorted statements.
I appreciate your time on helping me with that function call and IR transfer. Thank you.
