>>>>>[Mr. FUK. It is my duty to once again inform you the algorithms
utilized in MONICA are copyrighted by Yoshida Technologies. Furthermore,
they are _ALL_ patented as of this morning. Thus, utilizing them violates
patent laws. In addition, I would invite you to check the copyright laws
regarding 'Look and Feel'. This is a very ancient protection in the
software industry that prevents people from stealing others ideas and
producing functional clones.

I have spoken with Aztec and Renraku and _THEY_ recognize our claim. I
have their full support, as a matter of fact. Fuchi will be officially
warned tomorrow morning that pursuing any software or hardware of even any
research based in whole or in part on MONICA code would be a very poor move.

We will also demand that Fuchi force your resignation or they will be
indicted for aiding and abetting a known felon, namely you. Our records
indicate six outstanding warrants for your arrest, including one for
murder. How you managed to hide these records from Fuchi is beyond me,
but they now know.

Perhaps they knew all along, but now it is official and they have no
choice but fire your ass.

I have also turned over all information we have on you to the proper
authorities. We'll see you in 20 years to life.]<<<<<
