Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: MS raised prices so people will now start renting their office products instead

Hi :)
I was sure Miro was right.  The last MS Eula i read was quite a long time ago and i vaguely 
remember it having all sorts of shocking things such as writer's not owning work they had done 
using the software and other stuff that just really shouldn't stand up in court.  Perhaps i got a 
joke one but i'm sure it was from the MS site.
Regards from
Tom :)
