In a message dated 11-24-99, Stephen Haffly said to John Angelico:

Hello Stephen et all,

 JA> "Use of the Software for any military- or arms production related
--------------------------------------------------->******************
 JA> purpose, whether direct or indirect,  is strictly  prohibited and
 JA> will  constitute a breach of the license granted under this
 JA> Agreement."

 JA> I don't think it's as sweeping as you might have thought. Military
 JA> *purpose* not *personnel* (although I hate that word "personnel" it
 JA> makes the point by a pun)

SH>However, if I wish to use the program to access my shell account,
SH>and then view my e-mail from there, and my platoon sergeant has sent
SH>me military related information, then I am in violation of the
SH>license if I read it.

You have to read the text in its entirety. It clearly says "production
related purpose". As long as your platoon sergeant hasn't sent you an
e-mail about military- or arms production, you have not sinned.

Have a nice day,

Holger
