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
