I heard this RUMOUR from our supplier of the MS software:

They changed the software licensing agreement on the Win95 and
probably on the upcoming Win95 apps so that:

1) The line:

"If the SOFTWARE is permanently installed on the HD or other storage device 
of a computer and 1 person uses that computer more than 80% of the time 
it is in use, then that person may also use the SOFTWARE on a portable
or home computer"

is GONE.  i.e. you have to buy seperate copies for EACH location.

2) Application server:  If you have a client running an app from an
application server you have to buy a copy of the app, which has always
been valid and true, but the CONCURRENT statement will be gone.

i.e. If you have an icon pointing to the AppServer you need to pay.
The software licensing control software that saves you tones of money
won't be legal anymore.

This info are not CONFIRMED.  I wonder if anybody has heard anything
about that?
