Go ahead and copy protect your software.  Just don't expect any
orders from the University of Arizona.  Our policy (and the policy
of many *large* *real* companies) is that we don't buy copy protected
mainframe software.  The only packages we have which have this
obnoxious, annoying, and USELESS feature are Ingres and S1032, and
this was imposed upon the package very recently, at a stage way too
late to switch.
