<div>Dear Richard,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A well placed corporate computer industry type fellow was once selling some stuff but we were spared some difficulty because . .</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Corel, and sometines Adobe I think, regional offices in the past have put clear (but elegantly designed) Media license stickers (permanent glue!) on the outside of their media kits. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Seeing these on other companis products has helped us avoid bad moves. We nearly got stuck with something very bad once becasue it was not marked in any way. A journalist was selling stuff openly and that itseslf alerted us on another occasion.
<br> </div>
<div>When I look at the picyures supplied on the recent postings in New Zealand Trademe, there do not appear to be any media kit warnings on them. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Do you think that that is something that Borland USA, Singapore and other regional offices might consider implementing? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Paul<br> </div>

<div><span><font face="Arial" size="2">The other two purchased off TradeMe and paid $600 and $800 for media kits. They were unopened so the person selling probably didn't know they weren't full versions, but they may have. This is also not legal, only our resellers with reseller agreements can resell our products without explicit permission from us.
