I beg to differ, given that Rekall was (or still is) being sold by the
Kompany, which tends to imply ownership of the intellectual property
associated with Rekall, or at least some sort of licensing arrangement
with its owners. Hence, it does have a lot to do with the Kompany, and
we would-be Rekall users look forward to a communication from the
president of the Kompany on this matter.
