(WAY off topic)  I have a question that has been on my mind for a long time, 
and I can't seem to find any consensus on the answer.  When reading about 
commercial software, I keep running into the phrase "Proprietary property."  
I have always felt the phrase is redundant, and I used to laugh at all the 
tapes I would get from Cognos with a label declaring that the contents were 
"proprietary property of Cognos."  Now that I have encountered the phrase in 
so many places, I have begun to wonder if my assumption is based on some 
misunderstanding of the words.

Would anyone care to weigh in on this admittedly trivial question?
