The MS License Agreement reads: "As the LICENSEE, you own > > [ text deleted ] Well, I was the one who originally posted this, so here I go... ( Asbestos suit on) I did not the license agreement to MSC, I sold the magnetic media and the paper in the manuals for an unGodly amount and that's that! I think that somewhere in the legal system that one would find that this could be gotten around as in the above stated case. And that if I did something Illegal in selling this Plastic and Paper product (and somehow forgot to erase the gunk contained upon them, Let 'em come and get me!!!) Something else that I thought kind of interesting, when I sent back my license agreement to MS, I scratched aout quite a few lines on the agreement and sent a signed copy of that agreement back to them at leaste a year and ahalf ago and never heard a word from them...
