You are incredibly pedantic aren't you.
We *were* discussing ModCan and the fact that multiple modules my have been
'copied'. I never mentioned or even implied that Serge had cloned anybody
else's designs.

How do you arrive at your statement:
>the Serge

I think in the context of the discussion I was asking at which level modules
could be regarded as intellectual property and therefore subject to possible
lawsuits.
Rex maybe has a case with regard to Boolean Logic Modules, especially over
the similar face plate design. I was floating the concept that a DADSR is a
far more common module.
It really is as simple as that.
