Hello fellow beamers
Lest there is any misunderstanding about xxxx(c)wilf rigter, the copyright
is a bit of a joke to Mark T.
whom I greatly admire! In fact I have no commercial interests in BEAM
technology and participate only from a sense of intelectual challenge and
satisfaction.
Aside from the humour, (c) is my way of protecting ideas which I contribute
to the BEAM community from the remote possibility that some may claim them
for themselves, then copyright and exploit these ideas commercially to the
exclusion of everyone else. As far as I am concerned, although other may
not agree and will tell you so, stuff like the Solar Flytrap or Mounted
Walkers should be in the public domain.
enjoy
