Re: [amsat-bb] Lost IP

Sigh. I suspect this arose from improper intellectual property policy. This work was intended to be added to an Open Source project, and and NDA was not appropriate for it.

Adding to all of this is the fact that AHA is difficult to deal with regarding intellectual property because, in my experience, they simply don't understand it. I have gotten purported legal agreements from AHA that were written by a salesperson rather than an attorney - and that is working for a public company customer where the risk is much higher. And they are known to have entirely lost the recipe for a product. I doubt the situation is salvageable. A student's summer work got wasted and that is who is owed an apology.

Thanks
