definitions (trade secret, copyright, etc.) and the courts

[Mike Tilson]

There has been some considerable discussion of intellectual property
issues and ethics in this group recently.  As many of you will be
attending the June Usenix meeting in Portland, I thought I would let
you know that there will be an opportunity to take a course on the law
as it applies to software and intellectual property.  I took the course
myself in Salt Lake.  It's quite good, and easily understandable by
technical people.  It approaches the subject with a very balanced
and pragmatic viewpoint.

I'll post further details later to this group and to net.usenix.  As there
seems to be a great deal of opinion on the subject, I hope people will
welcome the opportunity to become more educated.
