Good grief! Do you really think MS is going to come to your house and
demand you produce the card? It is a metaphor, just like Borland's book
analogy.

By the way, I can't believe the way some people try to twist what
should be simple. One person told me in mail that Borland's book
analogy means that since you can take a book apart, photocopy it and
distribute the copies, you can also make copies of Borland software
and distribute them.
