It's me again from Moo U, and I have a important question:

I have a friend on this campus who's the ultimate left-wing supporter
of copyrights, against piracy et al. He tells me that before buying
ANY software from anybody here on the net, I should demand that the 
seller produce a software-licence-transfer-agreement form. How
realistic is this for you out there?  How agreeable is everyone,
(from a legal and ethical standpoint?) I honestly thought that if
I could sell my friend copyrighted tapes or CD's, couldn't the same
be applied to software?

Yours Naively,
L. Imm
