Sueing Article

I was half-expecting to read about an architect called Sue who had a copy of AutoCAD. Anyways, I expect AutoCAD will throw everything they have at this case, as they've got too much to lose. What gets me is that for anything asides from software, people would be up in arms if they couldn't resell stuff, even moreso if you could only read the contract after purchasing the goods. It's like the courts give software companies special exemptions.

I'm a total pedant, I know. So much so that I've had to edit my first post for spelling.

It'd be interesting to hear if any architects we know have had any problems with AutoCAD licensing, but I think Mike's the only one who regularly uses the forums.
