Re: Is the name clouding our judgement?

[Bill Davis] "The "removed FCP7 from the shelves might have been nothing more or less than the patent license on some lines of internal code that Apple chose not to renew and which was set to expire."

I've heard it mentioned a couple of times here on the COW. What lines of code would they be? For FCP Apple licensed EDL library from Alba Editorial and VTR control from Pipeline digital. Alba site is up but Pipeline is gone. Of course there is also OMF which is Avid.
