Re: software and copyright law

[Lucille Canina Cheatwood <luci@TENET.EDU>]

The rules for copyright particularly for computer software copyright are
*very* specific.  An excellent resource for information on copyright is
Simpson, Carol Mann.  "Copyright for School Libraries: A Practical
Guide". Worthington Ohio:  Linworth Publishing Co., 1994.

As a rule, you may only load the software on one computer unless you
purchased a site license or a lab pack.  "Software may be copied onto the
hard drive of one computer but it is against the law to maintain
simultaneous copies in different hard drives." (Copyright for School...)
