As I wrote in my previous post (in French), my English is so bad that 
I prefer not to take part in discussion. But, there, I have to answer.

Yes, it does: http://www.delphion.com/details?&pn=WO00104742A1 ;
And the typo in WO0104742 is not mine, I just pasted verbatim what OCS 
sent me.

Not only they could but they did.

I fail to see how insulting people could solve a problem.

Your ability to say anywhat is really amazing. Of course, it does 
reflect the danger of software patents. In their post, they didn't 
say "contact us to find an agreement". No, they said "you immediately 
stop the commercialization". And they did that on the basis of an 
EXISTING patent.

Who do you believe you are?
