My question is: what does it mean to "sell" the software in question? Along with our hardware, we sell two versions of Unix for some price. If we add a piece of copyrighted software obtained from the net, but do not raise the price, are we "selling" the software? What happens if, by coincidence, we increase the price at the same time we add this item? -- David Elliott {decvax,ucbvax,ihnp4}!decwrl!mips!dce
