For all its worth - was it $600 or so? Barely cover legal costs.
Even still, was it really responsible? If somebody published a
leaked document in a newspaper and the newspaper didnt know any
better, could they be sued? (albeit, more worth sueing than PLUG)
IANAL either. But I don't believe PLUG has much to worry about.
Perhaps some ignorant N.O.I.E. (heheh - no-i.e. lol!) employee might
sue us on the basis of promoting copying and duplication of
software? ;)
