Perhaps by not doing things like saying, you must audit all your
software between spring break and the end of the school year or
else face a fine, OR, you can just pay us money and we'll go away.

Is it just me, or does this sound a lot like those people
selling "insurance" against anything "bad" happening to
someone's place of business? (Bad meaning something like
the "insurance" people breaking the windows or torching
the place...)

 This would be a very good time to hang out with the Open Source 
 people, before they get formally reclassified as a national security 
 threat. -- Bruce Sterling
