Is there an offical report on the outcome of Wednesday's Lotus picket yet? Did the mayor declare marshall law? ;-) Doug -- On a clear day, under blue skies, there is no need to seek.

It was asked what notice was taken of protest at Lotus. Well,
RMS and the gang made the front page of the Business section of the
_San Jose Mercury News_ with a total of about 25 inches of ink in the
Thursday, May 25th edition.
Headlined "Scientists picket Lotus over software patents," the lead
sentence states:
CAMBRIDGE, Mass (AP) -- Some of the nation's top computer
scientists, angry over a wave of lawsuits seeking to copyright basic
computer software, picketed Wednesday outside the headquarters of
Lotus Development Corp.
Stallman was described as "Chanting slogans through a bullhorn"
and leading about 150 MIT professors, students and programmers from the
Boston area in the protest.
I like the one slogan, "No Writs for Bits"
