[WriteLog] WL License Agreement question

Greg, seems to me your guys are over reacting. If a contest logging program
has networking capablity then by definition it would need to be installed on
other computers. I guess it would be polite to remove the software after the
contest but on the other hand you might get some users to take a more active
interest in contesting and then purchase their own copy. Seems to me that as
long as you are not actively encouraging someone to use the program on a
long term basis then I, as a paid up subscriber, would not have any problem,
I guess the writers would take a similar line.

In my own case, a good friend of mine, GU0SUP, loaned me his copy for
evaluation since I had been using NA for some 8 years and was somewhat
apprehensive about the change. After subscribing to this Reflector and
trialing WL out on a couple of events I decide I was confident enough to
make the change and took out a subscription.

Kevin & others:

I have not received an answer to my License Agreement question regarding use
of WriteLog at our club Field Day exercise.  As a result, our Field Day
Committee decided to use TR-Log since time is short and I could not give the
other members of the committee a definitive answer by Noon today (we met for
lunch).  Incidentally, I also emailed the License Agreement question
directly to Ron -K5DJ, the author, and I did not receive a reply.  I suspect
he's busy issuing Registration codes.

Y'all listen for WC4AR #A TN on Saturday and Sunday.  GL all and play safe.

What, if any 'official' responses did you get to this?

I wondered the same thing.  Surely wayne doesn't want to impede the process
of potentially introducing writelog to some new 'potential' customers... but
I've never heard this officially positioned.

As a registered Writelog user, am I allowed to install the program on
several computers for use at our club's FD exercise?  I will of course
remove all installations of the program after Field Day.
