According to Harry, the Microsoft lawyers investigated it and, unlike terms like "windows", "word", and "access", they determined that "SenderID" was generic and could not be trademarked. See ca 17:25 in: http://www.xmpp.org/ietf-logs/[email protected]/2004-08-04.html More detailed explanations can be heard if you download the audio, but I deleted my copy so I can't check. -wayne
