DABHand,

I'm getting a bit tired, you know... A quote from Hungarian law, taken from a page of Artisjus, the very organization that protects authors:

Quote:
1999. évi LXXVI. törvény a szerzői jogról
(...)
59. § (...)
(2) A felhasználási szerződésben sem zárható ki, hogy a felhasználó egy biztonsági másolatot készíthessen a szoftverről, ha az a felhasználáshoz szükséges.
(...)
Meaning: Not even the EULA can take away the user's right to create a backup copy of the software, if that is required for (normal) usage.

[Edit] Oh yeah, and the constitution and other local laws have precedence over such company/person-to-company/person agreements... By the way, every software company is free to NOT export stuff to a given country. (It would be a stupid idea to do so, only because this "counter restriction", though...)

Next time, do me a favor, and DO some research, okay?

Joe

P.S.: Yes, this isn't a full-English post, I know. You know why...
