Do all AV companies pay Dr. Solly for "checking code for malicious

No, because I was too stupid to patent it.

I prefer to think that you were too nice to patent it :-)

Actually, at the time, if I recall properly, it was "share and share
alike" with the 'neat' things you found being shared with others.  We
COULDN'T patent software then.  We could only copyright it.

But I could be remembering what times were like through rose colored
glasses...


Lets be str8 though: if everyone copyrighted what they could in 1995
the world would be a much different place, as far as my paycheck is
concerned'
