Hmm. This case speaks of prior injunctions. Does anyone know what 
happened to the case after this decision?
This opinion, BTW, resurfaced some years back in one of Microsoft's 
briefs attacking the proposed rights of OEMs to alter the Windows

Gilliam decisions (and ones outside the second circuit) that disparage 
moral rights.
