No, some of us do not miss the boat on this issue, and agree with your
assessment.  Cognos has a compiler/interpreter, that's all.  They do not own
any source code belonging to licensees of Cognos - and if their licensing
agreement states that it does, anyone could challenge it, and win.

In other words Ric, most of us agree with you!
