Probably not, other than some small charge that HP may charge for
changing a SUSAN number. HP doesn't actually own the SUSAN number, just
the software that can change the SUSAN number.

Now if you have or someone wants to write, independantly, software that
will change the SUSAN number then you or they will own the copyright to
that software, not HP - since HP didn't write the new software.

Note: John poses a classic law school question, for anyone that's taken
courses in technology law. It's a good question. Anyone up for writing
software that changes the SUSAN number (without causing a BOO DEAD on
boot up)?
