For those that don't normally read the EULA's for software, you may want
to read the latest "Supplemental EULA" from Microsoft that came with the
most recent Reissued Updates that I found in my SUS Synchronization Log
this morning.
It starts out "normal" enough but about halfway down there is a section
titled "Additional Rights and Limitations".
The first one: "You may only install and use one copy of the applicable
OS Components. If you have multiple validly licensed copies of the
applicable OS Product, you need to reconnect to this site and download
an additional copy of the OS Components from each computer on which you
are running the applicable OS Product".
This is really the only section that I have a problem with. As written,
everyone that runs SUS or anything similar is in violation of that
paragraph.
I am not a lawyer or anything even remotely similar so it is entirely
possible that I am reading this wrong. With the language being used
however, I don't believe so. Would someone from Microsoft care to
explain this?
