-Microtek wants to release full documentation. Fine, they are free to do<br>
it.<br>
-Microtek does not want to release any kind of documentation. Fine It's<br>
**their** right not to do so.<br>
-Microtek wants to release information only to people signing NDA. Fine,<br>
they are free to look out for the right man.<br>
-Somebody/Anybody doesn't want to sign the NDA. Fine, It's his right. No<br>
problem with me.<br>
-Somebody wants to sign the NDA. Fine, he has the freedom to do it.<br>
-I am a customer. I can purchase Microtek scanners or not, based on<br>
whatever criteria I may choose.<br>
<p>
All in all I don't see how anybody can limits the options of anybody<br>
else just by telling his opinion (about anything actually).<br>
