A related question: If my employer purchased the FreeBSD-2.1.0 CD and I want to make a copy for my personal use (so I don't have to borrow the one from work all the time), is this legal? I figure that it is, since WC is essentially charging for the time and effort required to create the CD, but not for the software contained therein. Am I correct? -- Jeff Aitken jaitken@vt.edu
