I don't understand what license agreements would be violated:

o I assume Vince is running SAS/MICS on systems where it is
  properly licensed.

o I can't imagine that the SAS/MICS license restricts the origin
  of data processed.

o I can't imagine that any license restricts export of SMF data
  to other platforms for processing.
