It doesn't cost software house ABC any more to support that program when it runs on two machines compared to when it only runs on one. The only reason for single CPU licences is greed. They may be legal, and I may be forced to sign one, but I'll be damned if I abide by it. There is no way I'm going to spend my money for another copy of a program to run on a machine in the next room.
