Hi dman,

Now that I know what IANAL means, I have read the license and its not bad.

The restrictions are as follows:
- The "Personal Edition" is for home use only.  It may not be used by
or within any organization.
- A single copy of "BlackAdder" may be used on only one system at
a time.

So if it turns out I can program, and I set up a company and hire an office,
on top of all the lawyers costs for leases, rent, rates, etc. (Minimum costs
£10,000) I've got to find £200 to pay for a business version of Blackadder.

But logically, by that time I would already have made at least £10,000 from
using BA or else I woudln't bother.

I prefer the GPL but as non-free licenses go this isn't too oppressive.

Patrick
