How comes you snip everything relevant from my reply before stomping your feet again? As I already said: contract law applies since licenses are held to the same standard. There are differences which I listed. You'll find that the courts did not rule on the side of "contract" rather than "license" where any of those particular differences was concerned. Sloppy language does not set legal precedence as long as it does not make a difference regarding the _ruling_. -- David Kastrup
