How very odd.
A few years ago it was common knowledge that Mr Gates was convicted of Copyright infringement, given a $75,000 fine but was NOT told to cease and desist.

Now it seems history has been rewritten (by the victors?), and Mr Gate's bought the rights legitimately for $50,000. Odd when the rights could not possibly have been for sale as there was a large 'NOT for commercial use' clause. It was (perhaps the first) piece of open source code available to the public.

I've started reading them from the start (hence my post in the Buzz thread). Did you know that if you hover over them there is additional 'information' to be had?

Edit: LOL - the 'info.' for the Buzz Aldrin comic is great!
