the provide, license verbs

[Rod Dixon, J.D., LL.M.]

Now, that is a genuine academic argument. I am sure the issue will never be

about what you do to software you lawfully possess and want to hack for 
private and personal use. Who would bring such a lawsuit, and how would the 
suit get past a motion to dismiss?
