Hi Marc,
Are you too amazed at the power of Legal departments these days - some other Department realy really really *wants* to do something and the old Legal Department puts an end to it with a (frivilous, in my humble opinion) reasoning concerning language!
There was a time, not so very long ago, when the Legal department of a company worked in the reverse way - A company *wanted* to do something and the Legal department found ways around any hurdles which were presented so that the wish could proceed.
Cheers,
Jim N
>>Language is the problem. The case studies are submitted in English. This puts residents of non English speaking countries at a disadvantage. Yes, I know they probably speak English anyway. Yes, I know they can find someone to write the case studies for them. Yes, I know all the arguments why this is silly. But, nonetheless, when Microsoft runs a contest, our legal department has to approve it.

>Aaaah. It's the legal department .... :)
