Of course many software makers would like to tell you its clear and that whatever they decide to tell you inside the box is trhe law. Of course its not. If they say you can only install the software on one pc etc. there seems to be a progression. Say you open up software and when you instll it it says you can only instll it on one pc. Do you? 1)also install it on your laptop 2)allow family members in your household to install it on their pc 3)also allow family members not in your household 4)give to friends 5)e-mail it to acquaintances from the internet 6) sell copies of it I think most people I know are in the middle.
