unless Q can prove that Broadcom used its source code in the development of its WEDGE/HEDGE products. Perhaps engineer or Clark could comment on the likelihood of that happening and proving it....

I agree that it is very unlikely Qualcomm can prove anything substantive (at least without an insider or shear stupidity on the part of Broadcom). This is despite the fact that if Broadcom has had the code for a year or more there is a good chance they incorporated portions verbatim - but the problem is that once it is compiled it is virtually impossible to tell what the source was.
