Re: denotiation against Apple Inc

At least here in the states, ideas are not protectable. If you made any 
code that actually used two cursors, then that is protectable.

If you don't have a patent, then they can legally re-implement the idea 
with their own code, just like Samba re-implemented Windows networking 
with their own code.
