Greetings --

    Actually, Symantec does allow companies that license and use its
Norton Anti-virus Corporate Edition to distribute copies to their
employees for home use. But this is the only company I've personally
heard of that allows this.

    Otherwise, you're quite correct. It's a very, very rare
commercial software license that allows free distribution.
