- Consider the large numbers of people involved in some
- environments. You're providing a means for them to do their job.
- If you have to get everyone to sign an agreement then you're
- going to get a lot of them pissed off because you're questioning
- their integrity. Even those that are inclined to copy the
- software can cop an attitude. At least with the X factor they
- only get PO'd when they find out they can't.

- I guess I don't understand the connection between WANs and
- security. If you don't allow any access to other than trusted
- individuals then there is no issue. If you can't trust someone
- then don't allow access. If you feel that license violations are
- an issue then have everyone that has access execute an agreement
- stating that they won't violate the terms of the license
- agreement.
- There is nothing else that you need to do. You can not be held
- liable for a third party's actions as long as you make reasonable
- efforts to abide by the terms of your license agreement.
