Reading pkg/DESCR, it seems like the package is fine. This is, of course, the thing where you're allowed to make backup copies of software (copyPROTECTED or not) for your own personal use. If I remember correctly, this means that someone can't say "You are not allowed to make backup copies of this software for your own personal use" in the license.... As an aside... Hmm... MS gives MSIExp away for free. The license, if you read it, says that you are only allowed to use it if you actually own a MS operating system or product, though. I wonder how enforcable that is? -- Outnumbered? Maybe. Outspoken? Never! tIM...HOEk
