You'll find that this part of the EULA is legally unenforcable. If I write a site (as I have done) that bags out MicroSloth, they cannot make not writing such as site a condition of me using their software. apart from the normal laws of Libel, they haven't got a leg to stand on. I wonder how stupid they'd look taking a webmaster to court for writing a Microsoft parody site with Front Page 2002 (remembering that parody is a legal form of 'self expression"). Then again, absolutely nothing that company does surprises me any more. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
