Steve - I checked out what the software license agreement itself allows:

The Safari v64 License states:

SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
PUBLIC BETA

THIS IS TRIAL, PRE-RELEASE, TIME-LIMITED SOFTWARE MEANT FOR 
EVALUATION PURPOSES ONLY. 
This License allows you to download and use the Apple Software during 
the term of this License for evaluation purposes only.

........will terminate automatically without notice from Apple upon 
the commercial release of the Apple Software, or June 30, 2003, 
whichever occurs first.

It seems to me that if we the public are downloading and evaluating 
the beta software, we are within the permission of the license.  Or 
is my analysis too simplistic?

tut tut

well I never would have thought it ....
