- Seems to me most licensing agreements say that you can only use it
- on *one* machine at a given time. Running it on two machines would
- be a violation---networked or not!

- I'm not sure that this restriction is appropriate in this case, but that's
- not our place to decide. Other network capable programs do this, too. It
- is not unusual.
