The logistics of gathering in & checking the equipment and software would be a nighmare. In addition -and lets be honest here - faced with a demand to hand back their kit, many Yaroze owners would try every trick in the book to crack/hack & copy the libraries, dongle etc before doing so - creating a flood of 'unorthorised' development kits where there weren't any before! I'm pretty sure than when the black day comes and Sony finally do officially end the Yaroze project, if they do anything they will take the more pragmatic approach of asking users to 'destroy' their development libraries and withdraw the official license. - Miles Nigel Critten wrote in article <7bi26e$9he8@chuka.playstation.co.uk>... > >> - that is providing they don't inforce their license and ask for all the > >> development libraries back! > >> > > > >Certainly such action would be followed by a swift lawsuit!
