>From TradeStation:
TradeStation Technologies, Inc. and Omega Research, Inc. are the same
company. The company simply changed its name, which is of no legal
significance to its assets, rights or obligations. It is no different than
if an individual changed his name from Mike to John. He owns the same
things, and has the same rights and obligations, as he did before he changed
his name.
Accordingly, TradeStation Technologies continues to own all of the same
rights in its software and technology, including copyrights, that it owned
before its name change. Bootlegging or piracy of the company's software is
illegal, and the company reserves its rights to enforce its copyright and
other ownership rights to the maximum extent the law permits, which may
include injunction, and recovery of damages, punitive damages and attorneys'
fees and costs. We do not condone the illegal copying, sale or other use of
the company's products or violation of its software licensing agreements.
Sincerely yours,
Stephen Pepe
Director of Client Support
TradeStation Technologies, Inc.

Interesting legal point.
Who if anybody has legal standing to claim damages for bootlegged
software if omega research does not exist anymore ?
All license agreements were in the name of omega research and I have not
seen any transfer of license to any other entity --- it appears the
reason Bill & co. renamed as trade station technolgies was to bail out
of potential liability from past users / past problems. You can't have
it both ways Billy boy !
