Kinda realized it after calming down a little… Nice one… 🙂 This April Fools thing isn’t so big in my country, SA, only see videos and read about it… Never experienced it first hand…

That brilliant piece of work posted on any other day would probably have these forums overloaded with terrified and completely disgusted X-People sharing their wonderful point of views. On the other hand, that would never have made any other ‘flight simulation’ developing company happier…

Thanks for the great work in XP, extreme pleasure to pay for this software.

Regards
Winston

And we all know that this has been the only purpose for the existence for XP anyway 😉

Just saying…

All you have to do is show that the thing being patented was already in the public domain. Journal articles on blade theory that predate the patent can be used in court. Earlier versions of X-plane can be used as evidence, particularly if the help files explicitly refer to blade theory. If some component was novel but secret, like the source code, then that is a protected Trade Secret. Even if someone uncompiles your code, that is protected by copyright. Don’t be intimidated by conmen!
