Widespread isn't the word. 
           -----
On one of my entrance forms for the University of California, I was "warned" in
very small (~6 point type) about the wonderful "If you develop it here, it
belongs to us" rule.  That doesn't bother me, 'cause I can get around that.

What bothered me was it appeared on a paper that had nothing to do with
anything of that nature. (Like a medical history or housing form. Unfortunatly,
it was the one I didn't xerox. Oh well hindsight being what it is...)

Has anyone else seen this type of thing done elsewhere?
