[LINK] Link's German offshoot

"LINK is a visionary information service created for the Internet by 
the science publisher Springer.

"LINK is divided according to field into the so-called Online 
Libraries of life sciences, chemical sciences, geosciences, computer 
science, mathematics, medicine, physics & astronomy, engineering, 
environmental sciences, law, and economics.  ..."

So it's just another of the giants catching up with the Internet.

But it means that our fearless leader (i.e. Tony Barry, as distinct 
from John Howard), can look forward to an action by Bertelsmann in 
trademark law, requiring us to stop using the word 'link'.

And our fearful leader (i.e. John Howard, as distinct from Tony 
Barry) will be mightily confused, because he thought the laws that 
the U.S. instructed him to pass were supposed to help U.S. companies 
rather than German ones.
