I'd be interested in what agreements of any value these corporate
entities could make with Microsoft or IBM.  Each of the corporations
I've been sited at recently had to make concessions, in addition to 
the complete abdication of responsibility indicated on the media 
regarding licensing agreements.  Yeesh.  Only the small companies 
that *need* the business knuckle under and sign any kind of 
agreements with customers.
