really? why would it be a violation of copyright (or any other law) to
write and sell an addition or enhancement to any program (or hardware
device)? is it then a violation of copyright if a program uses undocumented
features of a commercial operating system (i believe this is common in the
windows world, and it seems to me to be a variation of the case in question)?
