No, because I was too stupid to patent it.

I prefer to think that you were too nice to patent it :-)

Actually, at the time, if I recall properly, it was "share and share

COULDN'T patent software then.  We could only copyright it.

But I could be remembering what times were like through rose colored 
glasses...

I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes.  I will surely
learn a great deal today.
