Many companies' software policy states you can only use "approved" software and they maintain a list of approved software. When I was in the Navy, we lowly minions were not allowed to install any software on the computers - only the technerds were allowed to do installs. There are federal regulations that control this activity and it is an audit point.

Agreed, Eric. It makes no sense whatever. The judge should be reviewed. That said, did the guy download wget knowing it was "banned"? Why should it be banned? maybe there is/was a reason but I don't know what it might be.
