Re: FMP5 Licencing...

[Geof Holman <gholman@xxxxxxxx>]

Interesting,  My solicitor states that most software licenses will not stand
up in court, once you OWN the copy of the product is yours to do with what
you want.  If you have multi-users on a single user version that's ok...as
long as you do not make copies of the software...So you can ignore user
licenses, they have no standing law...He also says that software company
whos product you are using will just give you and unlimited license to avoid
the courts...So us all the middleware you want...
