I had already skimmed through the Porters handbook but was under the impression that the limitations one could place on the software only involved around distribution or storage and not so much other forms of licensing as well. Obviously it didn't help to overlook LEGAL completely as well :-) Now I have plenty of material and examples to work with, and will contact the company behind this software to check if they agree with my ideas as well.
