Yes, I read about it. Anyway, I don't care if Microsoft violated 
anything. I developed it using some mechanism provided by Microsoft, and 
the mechanism works well enough. If they will have any trouble with it, 
then it's their matter. And after all, the article said it's a matter 
abuout EVERY embedded object in Every browser.

You do get the source, but since you didn't develop it, it's hard that 
you will know how it really works. You COULD read and try to realize 
sources but I don't think many people will.
