In earlier proceedings there was extensive reference by the defendants
to the holding of the 6th Circuit in the Junger case, and there was also
reference to the Patel decision as I recall in the Bernstein case.
The transcript of yesterday's hearing indicates that the judge seemed
to agree that both source and object code are protected to some degree
by the First Amendment. His question had to do with the degree of that
protection.
