Re: [U2] UV 10 para Suse 9.2

I forgot to trim; me bad. Sorry it wasn't clear that I was not trying to 
reply to the original question. I was adding comment to the implication, 
most likely *unintended*, in Adrian's second paragraph that the "bad" 
thing if someone *was* to run PE in a commercial environment would be 
the lack of support from IBM. Given the really bad advice some folks 
gave on the list about using PE last week, I wanted to underscore the 
fact that *any* commerical use of PE is illegal. Would IBM take action 
against a small company with limited dollars to gain? Maybe not, I don't 
know. But IBM's legal department is not small, and given a lawyer 
looking to justify their existence, or a new youngster with a law degree 
whose ink is still wet looking to make a name for himself, I would never 
bet my business that it wouldn't happen.

Plus, the more people talk about using PE inappropriately, don't you 
think that gives the IBM folks who read this list cause to pause about 
even having another PE version?

If the argument that one is putting themselves at risk if they did chose 
to use PE commerically, or that if we abuse it, we lose it, isn't enough 
to dissuade even the discussion, then how about a simplier reason.

It's wrong.

Using the PE version commercially is a violation of the license, ie. 
against the law.

IBM might choose to have quite a bit to do with it--via their Legal
Department.
