Keywords: Mac System Software Licensing Agreement Message-ID: <23834@dartvax.Dartmouth.EDU> Date: 22 Aug 90 14:21:35 GMT Sender: news@dartvax.Dartmouth.EDU Distribution: comp Lines: 24 A random question: If a user (myself) purchased a MacPlus is 1987 which came with System 5.0 and a friend of the user has a newer Mac with System 6.0.4 and the original user wants to use 6.0.4 is he legally allowed to make himself a copy of 6.0.4 System disks or must he (re) purchase the System software? A second possible situation: user A has a hard disk with System 5.0 and user B has a set of 6.0 disks. Can user A 'borrow' the disks to install the newer System or must he (re) purchase that software to legally use it? I looked at the Apple license agreement but I didn't see anything that covered this (maybe I missed it, I wasn't extremely thurough). email or post as you see fit... -Geoff -- geoffb@Dartmouth.EDU | Student Consultant Fieyrnt!
