While it's quite possible that license requirements differe for packages
which are sold in different countries, usually *INTER*-package differences
are greater than intra-package-different-distribution ones.  In any
case, I'm glad that Microsoft has written a reasonable software license
for MS-DOS if the above is quoted correctly and applies to US copies as
well.  Not having a copy of DOS 5, I wonder if they've also adopted the
more reasonable approach of allowing multiple installs of the same
package as long as only one person uses it at any time.
