Dan, >Ever read a shrink-wrap license Norm? Yes, I have and I have also been told that you cannot sign away your rights. If it was so easy to get out of liability no one would be able to sue airlines, etc. since they all have disclaimers regarding the inherent "risk". An interesting case involves a man who was killed during take-off in his private plane. The family sued the aircraft manufacturer and won. Cause of crash: no fuel in the tanks. Despite a general disclaimer of the "hazards, etc. of flying", the owner's manual did not specifically state that the tanks should be full before take-off. Now I've been told there is a sticker in the cockpit which specifically warns the pilot to check the fuel-level before take-off. Disclaimers are only as good as the lawyers defending them. Yes, the license agreements all shed responsibility for software products. This also gives the software world a free-license to distribute poorly-written/tested software (although at a reasonable cost.). Take it easy, Norm
