No this is not true, the other commercial packages, were not get
included in their "public" version, ie. the version they put
on the FTP site.  Furthermore, the license we are talking about
is the 4 components of theirs.  In the license it says, the
"third party software", ie the other commercial packages, has their
own license, we have to read the license that is available on the
CD.
