Your message leaves a bit to confusion, Ed.

No, it is not folly to license a program to an individual. It is a  
common practice in the shareware world.

The next sentence leaves me wondering exactly what your intended  
meaning is. Do you mean "their" legal rules or the legal rules  
"there"? The words have different meanings and cause some confusion  
when used out of proper definition.

Then you say that it seems to you that "you do not want to give the  
user this type of information". Are you referring to the program  
distributor here or to the purchaser/user of the program? And, what  
type of information are you meaning?

Clarity of statement leaves less confusion to those of us who read  
your postings.
