Probably patented too...  Seems that a number of people slap a 
boilerplate copyright header into everything they do, even trivial code, 
or stuff that isn't theirs.  e.g. header files describing register 
locations and bit values / name.  In the case of the header files, they 
are using the exact verbage as Philips.

Now how can you justify asserting that you have a copywrite on something 
that isn't yours???  Apparently Microsoft is not the only one to use 
Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt?!
