C'punks, On Thu, 19 May 1994, Hal wrote after a thoughtful analysis of the patent infringement question:
. . . - In any case, Sternlight does not have any standing in making this charge. He is not a lawyer and is not affiliated with RSADSI in any way. At best his reports are second- or third-hand interpretations of his understanding of RSADSI's position. Unless or until the patent holder speaks directly to make these charges, there is no need to respond.
I think the victims of Mr. Sternlight's accusations of patent infringement may have a cause of action against him for libel. Any thoughts on this issue from the other lawyers on this list? Duncan? Black Unicorn? A few legal shots across the bow might help Mr. Sternlight see his crusade in a sterner light. S a n d y
