On the contrary, I think Mr. Sanford's note is more or less equivalent
to:
	I want a car radio.  Anyone have one they are not using any
	more and are willing to give me, owner's manual and all?
A "copy" of a piece of software does not automatically imply an illegitamate
"copy" of said piece of software.  If I had upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1, I
might want to get rid of my 2.0, manual and all.  This is well within the
confines of the licence agreement.
