before we get too informal, I should put my list-mom hat on. And 
tell myself off, first and foremost.

I'm not going to look up the User Agreement right now but I am 
certain it says you are limited to installing on machines you 
use personally. It may even say one machine. My point in saying 
that Apple don't seem to check was part of an argument that, 
despite the apparent absence of draconian measures, they offer a 
reasonable 5-licence household pack and that in the case of Snow 
Leopard, *not* buying the requisite number of licences seems 
rather petty, given its price.

The absence of legal measures seems to me not an oversight or 
invitation to break the licence agreement but rather an 
invitation to rise above the kind of petty and troublesome 
suspicion that Windows seems to have by being trustworthy and 
buying the right number of licences.

That's the list admin's public and personal position and I'm 
spelling it out in case I seemed to be encouraging people not to 
buy enough licences (I was never arguing that).
