i would like to point out that this case isnt as clear and
obvious as "the other one" (sloppy cut-n-paste jobs of yours,
jochens, powerlabs and vmi site, plus two images of unidentified
origin).

since there has been a published version of the bucketcap image
_without_ the logo in the list archives and Kreso seems to have
put some effort in making/translating the first description of
the design into his language(as far as i can tell, not knowing it),
i am really willing to give him the benefit of doubt.

we dont know how Cris's original mail looked like either, i can
imagine wielding the legal mallet as part of first comms to Kreso
about the issue wouldnt have contributed to peaceful resolution.
neither did preexisting tensions between the parties.

how about both just add a link to the other language?
and could the list now please go on with making larger sparkies?
