I am interested. You seem to be espousing a belief (that I hope I don't get wrong): "driving above 20mph in a city environment gives significant economic benefits, and should not be curtailed". In roads, between cities, the b

You want to believe that you have control where you do not, and that the world is fair where it is not. You might get fired because the boss is spending all the money travelling You might get hired to do not so much for 5 years The company

given that dolphin is open source, a company could be created just to litigate the issue. That is, to upload dolphin on steam. without the original team permission, and to contest the DMCA claim. If they'd have grounds or not, I don&#x
