In the event that anybody is fooled by the above statement note of course
that it is EXACTLY the University's (as the original purchaser of the
software I assume, unless it's already bootleg, in which case it's
moot) problem to prevent unauthorised copies of the software.

Next time you buy a piece of software, take a little time to actually read
the software license, and that little seal you have to break into to
actually get at the disks.
