Re: The Best EULA Ever



    IANAL, but as I read it, the license stipulates that the (beta) sware 
can't be *distributed* w/ "potentially viral software", which since it 
is in beta form, is not at all unreasonable.  They simply don't want 
beta sware to be relied upon or propagated after the beta test period.  
If nothing else, it is their intellectual property as much as anything 
created under GPL is the intellectual property of those creators, so they 
are entitled to make those distinctions.

    Having said that, I vote this subj is declared OT and left to the forums 
where ranting and raving about licenses and MSOFT bashing is welcome....Jet
