In paragraph three (3), it says: OTHER RESTRICTIONS: You may not rent or lease the COMPILER, but you may transfer it on a permanent basis if the person receiving it agrees to the term of this Agreement. The way I read this is that a MSC 4.0 licensee CANNOT rent or lease the compiler, however the person CAN give it away or sell it if the receiver agrees to the license agreement that accompanies the compiler. --todd -- Todd Ogasawara, U. of Hawaii Center for Teaching Excellence UUCP: {ihnp4,seismo,ucbvax,dcdwest}!sdcsvax!nosc!uhccux!todd ARPA: uhccux!todd@nosc.MIL INTERNET: todd@uhccux.UHCC.HAWAII.EDU
