All I have consented to is peeps >may use with intended target platform! Hmmm, you say "Correct" and then flatly contradict what I just wrote. Why? Surely I can't violate a right you haven't got. You haven't got the right, under UK law, to stop me from modifying your code. So even if I do, I can't be violating any of your rights. The plain fact is, that this is what the law in the UK currently says. You think the law is wrong, and maybe it is. Maybe it should be changed. Lobby your MP. >but we will have to aggree to disagree on this. Alright, we've already spent a lot of bandwidth here.
