Re: Federal Court says Microsoft infringed UC, Eolas WebObject


javascript webobject
let me get this straight....

cgi is not affected because there is no local interaction

plugins for flash, real player, tcl, java, etc are. some may already be
licenced others need to be?

or is it the ability of the browser to support plugins which has to be
licenced in which case explorer, mozilla, etc have to be licenced?

javascript is part of the browser and if it provides local dynamic
controls that's ok because it's not downloaded, only the code - or is
that covered too?

i know this slightly off topic, but it could significantly affect the
utility of xml in the browser environment....
