The contract says what it says.   If you want to increase the number of
Installed Systems -- defined as those machines on which you run this
code -- you'd better pay me more.

*Maybe* the *intent* here is to charge in proportion the number of
people who read my quarterly joke but that isn't what the contract
literally says.  It says quite plainly that if you install more than
you've paid for, you owe money.

Interestingly, you are free to give the source to your neighbor.  It's
only if you "self help" by installing additional copies that I have a 
claim on you.
