Thanks, Lynn. Very good news for all of us, for several reasons. The  
good guy won. My hat is off to Mr. Schmeiser.

This is from that site:

Schmeiser pleased with victory over Monsanto
In an out of court settlement finalized on March 19, 2008, Percy  
Schmeiser has settled his lawsuit with Monsanto. Monsanto has agreed  
to pay all the clean-up costs of the Roundup Ready canola that  
contaminated Schmeiser's fields. Also part of the agreement was that  
there was no gag-order on the settlement and that Monsanto could be  
sued again if further contamination occurred. Schmeiser believes this  
precedent setting agreement ensures that farmers will be entitled to  
reimbursement when their fields become contaminated with unwanted  
Roundup Ready canola or any other unwanted GMO plants.
