I think what the original poster *meant* was that SoftQuad's formatters were
*derived from* "the new, official Documenter's Workbench", presumably meaning
DWB 2.0. Unfortunately, they stated this in a fashion that could lead somebody
to believe that they were claiming that SoftQuad's formatters *are* the latest
DWB release; i.e. that there is a DWB 3.0, issued by AT&T, that is the same
stuff that SoftQuad is shipping, or something such as that.
The exact statement was:
Softquad Publishing Software is the official new release of AT&T
Documenters Workbench, and hence does indeed contain licensed software
from AT&T.
which would have been better stated as "SoftQuad Publishing Software is baded
on the official new release...", unless they really *are* claiming that AT&T is
just reselling SoftQuad's software, which I would find difficult to believe.
