We have a policy which applies to students, faculty and staff.  It starts
out:

  Unauthorized copying or use of computer software is a violation of federal
law, a likely breach of a license agreement, and an action that also may
subject the perpetrator to discipline within the University.

and then after a number of paragraph covering restrictions and proper practice,
ends with the sentence.

  In the final analysis we demean the integrity of the University and all it
stands for when we engage in unauthorized copying or use of computer software.

  This policy letter is circulated to all departments each fall, and appears
in our Faculty Handbook (which has all the official rules and procedures.)
