Anything about what their contract says is sheer speculation. I've seen Microsoft contracts that prohibited the installation of FLOSS on any computer used by the organization. Will such a clause hold up in court? Probably not, but what school can budget anything for a lawsuit against a company that considers US$1 000 000 000 to be chump change. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
