QUOTES,
You probably already have a copy of the License Agreement on the WT CD-ROM, but for anyone else out there who doesn't here it is. Looks like the stinkers did a thorough job with whats covered in it. Can relevant parts of the license agreement be legally included in any press releases? To show people the hypocrisy of the WTS. They're supposed to "spread this good news far and wide" or have they confused the term spread with suppress?
