Yes, that IS true. However, "HAVE TO" and "HAVE DONE SO" are two different realities, don't you think? People can quote rules and even scream, shout and throw lawsuits, but until Bookeen gets to the "Have done so" state, there's really not much we can do.

I'm taking the view that Bookeen intends to comply, but just has been far too busy getting the features list current and the buglist under control.
