With the longterm software plans of companies like microsoft being on a rent the newest windows and office from a server over the internet, i would expect they would also offer you encryption. And for those of you using linux and having no commercial software server to rent from? i guess you better be a retired millionaire geek or hope some banner scheme like the one above is offered
licensing is not generally a good idea...i remember reading capitalism and freedom by good ole Milton Friedman(won nobel prize for economics...libertarian thinker etc...) and he agrees. What happens when you start licensing is a move to central control by the government. You can eventually end up with something like the medical industry where the doctors control everything from how many people graduate to where graduates work. They can control wages this way etc... Aren't free marketers? don't we want to let the free market let schools make a good name or bad names for their graduates...its not like software companies can't test applicants to see if they are qualified. Above all im very wary from letting the government get involved in anything...cause its so hard to get them out...and the gov usually ends up expanding their power.
