"Liberty Star has signed (executed) a confidentiality agreement with each of multiple other parties."

Thank you, Brent, for this very important clarification.  No confusion can remain.  We have CAs!.  This very much brightens my outlook, and that of others, I'm sure.  

I will take this as a company Christmas present to shareholders, with the understanding that CAs are not tantamount to signed agreements.  Never-the-less, the fact that multiple CAs are in effect amplifies the possibilities for a near-term partnership of some sort.

Thanks again.
