<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 964716, member: 26302"]I would be very surprised if Scott actually successfully defended such a position. A company can make a claim all they want, but actual enforcement is another thing. I would suspect if KM did settle with Scott it was simply because it was cheaper to settle than to fight it. Our legal system is pretty messed up this way, encouraging settlement rather than fighting due to high costs of all of the lawyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>One caveat would be if you are making a product that is substantively the same as which they sell, then infringement could be an issue. If the OP was making a database product, but KM already has one that it sells, then it wouldn't be fair use. That is the only instance I could see that would be a problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
