Hi Dave

I cannot stress that the points I raise are those that are raised by an
international consortium of IBM, Microsoft, CA and others to clamp down on
piracy.  The perception is piracy is the corner market selling bootleg
copies of Office, etc.  However their focus is on licensing breaches.  They
see no difference between using 10 copies of word on 1 license of Word or
providing 10 users access to a database with 1 user licenses.  

What I am trying to do is raise peoples attention to the issue and would
strongly advise people not to assume legality of the raised methods but to
seek legal advice especially under SOX.

There is a requirement for IBM to look at licensing to handle the new
requirements and the U2UG will raise the issue with IBM.

Regards

David Jordan
