Yeah, I guess that's better advice than my saying talk to a lawyer, as you really don't need to do that if you're just going to install it and not distribute it. However, as Charles mentioned, if you're going to be distributing this to client (as in customer) machines, then the legal implications are different. If this is internal and won't be redistributed outside your home or office, then you don't have much to worry about. - jt
