<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>A real warning. In the last two weeks

<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </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. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial size=2>We aren't trying to make things hard for
you guys, if you have a legitimate sale (decreasing developers, etc) then we
are happy to grant permission, but it is to protect people from things like
this happening. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
