You can make as many copies as you want, as long as you can credibly prove that only one of them is being used at any one time and that you're not a library or a rental-agency, for whom special rules apply. Normally this is interpreted by the lawyers as "you can safely make one copy as long as it is for you own personal use." Mind you, you cannot make a copy and give it to your wife/kid/neighbor, since then it might be in use at the same time as the original... -- Poul-Henning Kamp FreeBSD coreteam member phk@FreeBSD.ORG "Real hackers run -current on their laptop."
