Hi

I see from the front page of the Kopete web site that the site has been
closed for patent infringement. When was this decision made? Why has
this decision been made now (as the patents were filed a while ago)?
Have you received a legal letter from any of the companies that own the
patents? What is due to happen next?

I'm keen to chat to someone to find out more about this issue. Is there
anyone who knows more about this issue, and if so could you pass on a
phone number and let me know the best time to call you. 

Thanks

Ingrid
