Gen: Another Copyright Question

[Vaneesa Thompson <VANEESAT@AOL.COM>]

I need some clarification on software issues because we have software in the
library that has circulated in the past (before I got there) but I know we
don't have a site license or multiple use license.  I am about to write a
newsletter addressing the issue and need some facts.  I got some information from
Carol Simpson's website about some consequences if they are caught.  I now need
some solutions.

I may be off base here, but I thought that someone told me that you could
load software from home onto your school computer because you could not use it in
more place than one at a time.  Is this true?  If this is true, what about
the times where my children may be home for a short time before I leave school.
They may be able to use the software while I am using it.


Thanks,

Vaneesa
