Well, I looked into the site, and it looks like it's a hosted shopping cart. So to check out the source, one would have to sign up for an account, and then hope the source code files are available when you login. However, I haven't looked at Bud's license, so I'm wondering if it's even illegal for someone to do this. It's similar to buying an engine diagnostic machine and then selling a tune-up service. In most cases, that is NOT illegal, but again it all depends on the license. Also, you have to keep in mind that licenses don't always give you legal protection. There are consumer protection laws and case law for business, and these take precedence over whatever stuff you may put in your license. ------------- [INFO] -- Access Manager: This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
