Won't work (IANAL, TINLA), at least in the U.S.; any copies of computer programs that are needed in order to use the program are specifically non-infringing, by section 117. Normally, this refers to copying the binary form from disk to core, but it plainly would cover compiling if that's required. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please leave your values | Check your assumptions.
