| 4.1 We grant you a nonexclusive right to distribute an | individual
software license only with a fully assembled computer | system. A
"fully assembled computer system" means a computer | system
consisting of at least a central processing unit, a | motherboard, a hard
drive, a power supply, and a case."
The clause allowing sales with peripheral hardware has been removed.
