Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't a licensed and copyrighted program a licensed and copyrighted program -- either in part or as a whole? If I print that licensed program on paper, does it stop being a licensed program? (No.) If one keeps a copy of the licensed program on paper but destroys the electronic version, has one "destroyed the code"? (No.) As Sgt. Phil Esterhaus used to say, "Hey, let's be careful out there." Just ask the vendor if you've got any questions about what your license does and does not allow you to do. I appreciate that we all want to share stuff. It's a good impulse. But there are some limitations we should be careful to respect. If I'm totally misinterpreting the post, mea culpa in advance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples Resident Enterprise Architect (Based in Singapore) E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
