[John Young]

A correction on the inventors of the alleged Palladium patent
from a Microsoft programmer:

Are you a good contact person for the information on the Microsoft 
DRM patent (6,330,670) on cryptome.org?

The pages linked from http://cryptome.org/ms-drm-os.htm say that 
the authors of this patent (England, DeTreville, and Lampson) were 
identified by Newsweek as Palladium programmers.

I can reliably state that I (DeTreville) am not a Palladium programmer, 
and neither is Butler Lampson.

I believe that the Newsweek article was referring to a different patent. 
I'm sure that the Palladium participants jointly hold a significant number 
of important patents in the field of computer security.

Cheers,

John

We would appreciate information on the alternative Palladium 
patent John DeTreville is referring to, or patents if the program
is based on several.
