Mwongozi was one of many readers to note that "the NY Times is reporting Justin's resignation from Nullsoft, and more details can be found in his weblog. One has to wonder whether this has anything to do with the WASTE fiasco."

    ``If you downloaded or otherwise obtained a copy of the software, you ... must destroy any and all copies of the software, including by deleting it from your computer''

    Other valid means are:
    - just throw the whole computer out. That way we'll have covered all the bases for future potential license violations
    - hmm can't think of anymore (well this list sure fizzled out fast)

    ``Any license that you may believe you acquired with the software is void, revoked and terminated.''

    Well Schrodinger's license is definitely dead then. I never downloaded it but now I'm wondered if I got one through some quantum license-tunnelling effect.

    I wonder about the order of voiding, revoking, and terminating? Was it in series or in parallel? Sounds like the license got taken out back and worked over by the three of them at once.

    fortunately, you can use fake information to sign up.

    unfortunately, they use fake information when writing stories.

    Don't for get the non-compete clause: "for the next 17 years you agree not to think on behalf of any other company".... guess that means you can only get a new job if it's in management.

    Or a job down at the Patent Office.
