For several years now, the Armed Svcs (and quite possibly all gov't
labs) have specifically refused to buy any software that was copy
protected.  They didn't want to be hung up trying to copy to hard disks,
re-copying things which got munged, etcetc.  I'm sure this was part of
the reason mfrs stopped doing it.
