- I thought I saw something about OUP taking networking licensing fees and
- not delivering a networked version somewhere. Networking the single
- user version under those circumstances seems defensible to me. Other
- than that I generally agree you should abide by your license. We used
- to have Lotus OneSource at some ridiculous annual fee until we found an
- alternate database with a better price (although less service). It
- seems to me not whether the marketplace will decide appropriate value
- for intellectual property but whether we can afford to wait.
