This is the problem with all these virus licenses.
You need a lawyer to interpret the 5237 conditions
and even then it comes down to some judge's decision.

From your link:

2.1 You may use, reproduce, display, perform, modify and distribute Original
Code, with or without Modifications, solely for Your internal research and
development and/or Personal Use, provided that in each instance:


I interpret "personal use" as "personal use",
but I saw someone on the Open Watcom newsgroup
try to worm his way around that.

He may or may not be right. A judge will decide,
temporarily, who is right, subject to appeals,
and even a supreme court in name-your-country
decision can be overturned at a later date.

Not interested. If it isn't public domain, I'll
use it under protest, until I've had sufficient
time to find, or write, a public domain
replacement.

BFN. Paul.
