NeXT Software Release 2.0 at a resolution greater than 900 dots
per inch.  Licensee is free, however, to transmit PostScript
language files created with NeXT Software Release 2.0 to an
output device containing its own PostScript language interpreter

directly or indirectly, of the PostScript software included with
the NeXT Software to print bitmaps with print resolutions of 150
dots per inch or greater, or to generate fonts or typefaces,
other than on a single NeXT Computer in conjunction with a single
