At least here in the states, ideas are not protectable. If you made any
code that actually used two cursors, then that is protectable.
If you don't have a patent, then they can legally re-implement the idea
with their own code, just like Samba re-implemented Windows networking
with their own code.

Ladies and Gents. greetings:
Back in 1999 or so i have contacted Samba team about Apple violating the
GPL of course its about code , programming code .... i emailed slashDOT
if i remember , just for the records .
Now i see their new gadget IPhone dont even have G3 ... using my idea of
using two separate cursors, u cant see it in their version because it's
touchscreen so no "mouse" but the way u use two fingers to zoom a
picture from both opposed side IS two cursors grabing each Angle of the
picture , u can email me i ll be more than glad to even call u from
france and explain it to you :)
I have anouced this idea back in between 2001 and 2004 and was working
for server-express in france/paris, my mail was
djamil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, the list used to be called xfree86-expert or
so i also program in C/++ but never had the time to participate in
Xfree86 .
I am not trying to get ur help to sew them for money, but if u can for
Xfree why not. I am not trying to get my name somewhere in any means,
but it hurts to see these folks using Our ideas to shine on the desktop
of average users .
If this is "uncalled for" sorry for the pollution, my intentions arent bad .
Have a great day everyone
