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... 

( Asbestos suit of, lawyer hired...)
