[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Software Licensing Question

tkevans@fallst.UUCP (Tim Evans) (07/26/90)

This may be a really dumb question, but I've not seen it
discussed anywhere, so I'll be the dummy:

What licensing arrangements are PC-DOS software vendors making
in re use of their software in PC-NFS/PC/TCP+ environments?
That is, what's to keep someone from placing multiple copies of
their favorite DOS (single-user) word processor or spreadsheet
on an NFS server and dishing it out to multiple PC's via the virtual
drive?  (That is, other than their conscience?)
