#include <disclaimer.h> In the U.S. at least, there's a specific statute *exempting* the running of software (and the making of backups) from copyright protection. That is, copyright does *not* grant the holder the right to restrain users from executing a copy of software that they have legally obtained. http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#117 -- Karl A.
