Yes, but I would rather do it as a post grad idea with some students 
comming in to work with me, rather than having it tied up buy a uni who 
want money from units sold etc.

I am copying all emails (good and bad) without names or email addresses 
to the board, so that they can see responses and fix documentation 
acordingly, I will be meeting with the legal team shortly to discus a 
few problems (one of which is me being a company (I am currently just a 
registered business) so I will bring it up then, and if I can get some 
safe guards in place to assure my ownership etc so that I can protect 
what is not going to be freely avaliable (like the data sets etc) then I 
would be happy to do it with a uni, but if I can not protect then it 
will be with grad dip students in "work experiance".

I am not looking for free labour, and I have tried to avoid the pitfalls 
of uni pre conceptions (most establishments say it will never work, but 
look at IBM who was trying to clone molocules and actually transported 
them instead, out of imposible Ideas, we stumble on other things that 
can and do make money.)

Regards,

Kat.
