Patent Restrictions?

[Qiaozhi]

True true. This tirade is getting old, and no amount of repeated strawmen and red herrings is going to make them a valid argument. Nor is posting attachments of anything denied by forum rules.

I don't think it's in anyone's interests to kick certain people out, close the forum registrations down, and only accept new memberships on a checked basis, so please stop the sock puppet campaign before you start.

Civil conduct, people? This is just a forum, we don't make legislation here. If you have nits to pick with a company, please do it through those legal channels or whatever channel or country you choose. I believe there are plenty of folks (on this technical not personal forum) already tired of this pissing contest.

I'm also tired of the same old retoric. If things don't change here [very soon] this thread will be closed.

Isn't these petty affairs inflicted 'death' to many so called promising / potential projects underway here on this site - for beginners are the most affected - they follow some project - then poof - everything in the forest gets encrypted in this fog of politics - proxies taking away bits and pieces from the posts for their affiliation and poor beginner (having low or no resources) remain gaping at the half baked proto-boards and components just are no use for other projects. Everybody comes here to have something solid for start then improve. But swear I'll never peek inside this "Topic" anymore. Imagine similar thing done to Instructables, where it would be now. My previous post was only to remove any disturbances to my otherwise peaceful thinking mind and follow sincere minds.

Leave him alone Doug.
No one is interested in the answer.

He can't even say anything due to company interests. Be fair.

Please dictate them elsewhere.

No one did really know, that I was involved to the QED project as well (until the end of January 2013).
I have the complete sources of the QED project.
Now, big surprise, isn't it?
And you should know, that there isn't any room for further negotiations.
I'll dictate my modest and fair demands soon.

That could be a real possibility, Doug. I expect Carl has already received his invite to the next Minelab Christmas party. Will you be there? Don't forget a pressie for Bruce!
