Mike, to quote from the non-German Licence.Doc
"Use of the Software for any
military- or arms production related purpose, whether direct or
indirect, is strictly prohibited and will constitute a breach
of the license granted under this Agreement."

*purpose* not *personnel* (although I hate that word "personnel" it makes
the point by a pun)
