A: You see, I don't know for certain because I don't know what's going on there. I've never been there. But I suspect that it's a matter of copyright and has nothing to do with patents, because if you are talking about the same programs&hellip; Remember, software patents are primarily a restriction on software developers. So if it's the same program and it was developed, say, in the US, the patent problems they have are independent of, you know&hellip; the patent problems they have are biggest in the US, not in either India or Malaysia. So, that probably has to do with copyright, not patents, and that's a totally different issue. We mustn't lump these issues together.
