[M3devel] Architecture descriptions of software/hardware in Modula-2+

[Daniel Alejandro Benavides D.]

Hi all:
fortunately they had recognition was made by some sue, but for an issue; the claim they created a thing for the development of it:
http://www.google.com/patents?id=PY0kAAAAEBAJ&zoom=4&pg=PA1#v=onepage&q&f=false
 
Which is nice given that a patent is hold means that somehow everybody agrees with that I guess, but who *may not* be affected by it, exactly the counterexample of just another read my lips example :) of patents.

Thanks in advance
