doubt).
At any rate, not breach of contract, which was the whole point of
that paragraph. There certainly was copyright infringement
involved, whether by me or someone else, and nowadays the DMCA
would come into play as well on the legal front, but Fons'
argument was that using pirated software was immoral due to a
breach of contract. I disagree.
