I really doubt we have any lawyers here :-)

Ahh...ok.  Didn't understand that before.  The only word of
caution then is that sometimes in large corporations,
distribution between business units can be considered
redistribution.  Particularly in the case where new units
are aquired and old ones sold off.  I would just make sure
that if this applies to you, your managers understand all
the possible outcomes.

But it sounds like you are trying to be aware of the potential
licensing issues.  If you have any questions, feel free to
bounce them here over here.




cheers, jerry
