Jef,

The royalty comment has been made by many as an assumed senario and for logical reasons, but it does not upset anyone.

The only reason I have stated what RP said at the SHM is for clarity, as I understood it that day, what the EDIG/DM strategy was.

I'm no legal type, but my interpretation of not seeking royalties for past and future use of the patents, but going for a one time cash settlement for past infringment, and cross licensing deals in lieu of royalties for future use of the patents, builds a better business model for the long term.

By all means, your comment was a very good thought, just not what RP stated was their goal in persuing each case.

I apologize if my response seemed harsh, as I sure did not mean it that way.
