I guess I lucked out as I just came back to Canada through Vancouver and denied to give the agent my computer and phone passwords. He said he could keep them if he saw fit and hand them over to "other agencies" to crack them.

"Easy Work-Around" For Microsoft Word's Legal Woes 172

Posted by timothy on Saturday August 15, 2009 @06:40PM from the legal-hokey-pokey-is-what-it's-all-about dept.

CWmike writes "Microsoft can likely use an 'easy technical work-around' to sidestep a recent injunction by a Texas federal judge that bars the company from selling Word, a patent attorney said today. 'The injunction doesn't apply to existing product that has already been sold,' said Barry Negrin, a partner with the New York firm Pryor Cashman LLP who has practiced patent and trademark law for 17 years. 'Headlines that say Microsoft can't sell Word are not really true,' said Negrin, pointing out that the injunction granted by US District Court Judge Leonard Davis on Tuesday only prohibits Microsoft from selling Word as it exists now after Oct. 10. 'All Microsoft has to do is disable the custom XML feature, which should be pretty easy to do, then give that a different SKU number from what's been sold so it's easy to distinguish the two versions.'"

Needless to say, this team has been following the OSS tradition of giving crappy names to projects. Maybe it's not that "needless" to say because this tradition is widely followed.
