Absurd, ridiculous nonsense. There is only one party who has any say over what code gets executed by a CPU: the owner of that physical property.Hold on. If you're dealing with a large company or government department, who "physically owns" the computer in question, you can't tell me that they're going to micromanage exactly what goes on with that system. They'll delegate the authority off to someone who'll actually run the equipment.
And CPU owners frequently transfer, by contract, some or all of their (purported) right over the code executed by that CPU to others. Service bureaus often work that way. Many CPUs are leased. Does IBM have the sole right to determine what runs on all of the mainframes it leases to customer? There's some nonsense in this thread, all right, but it wasn't David's. -- Michael Wojcik Principal Software Systems Developer, Micro Focus _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
