Check the back of the front page of your Macintosh manual, the one that just
says Macintosh on the spine. There is a license there prohibiting giving
copies to anyone.

A license is subject to the 'fair use' law without having to quote it 
within it. This license said, right at the end that provisions were
enforceable to the extent provided by law. 

As for using more than one computer, nobody has figured that out. In this
case both machines are licensed for the Macintosh system. Who's to say you
didn't download it twice? I did (for reasons having nothing to do with this
discussion, I only have, and use, one Mac).

I still say this. You should go look up Fascist in an encyclopedia.

 It may be stupid, it may be safe, but it's not Fascist!
