Bruce, this seems to be a real stretch about "field of endeavor." What is the "field?"

Van,

 

Haven't you just very clearly characterized this term as a use restriction? And doesn't this way of stating it make it very clear it's in contravention of OSD #6? It would certainly be a field of endeavor to run the program for anyone but yourself, or for anything but a private purpose.

 

    Thanks

 

    Bruce
