Thank you. One problem that will come up for me soon is what to do when
a "networkable" version of A-Talk III comes out (I already have a working
prototype running on SANA's ipc.device).  How should I license that?
Of course one could get a copy and run it on all sorts of networked machines.
And note that one can "legally" run today A-Talk III on 8 serial ports
on the same machine with a single-user license.
