Dave,

It would appear that great minds think alike :-).  I have already ordered my
Raven, to bad I will never use it.  However it was a hard sell to my manager, and
I dread the thought of legal getting wind.  Besides, if you whack the build dirs,
how can they tell what you are using anyway?  Would they even look any further in
an audit if you had a commercial product with a license?  I think not.  And I can
certainly live with the morally questionable issues here.

cheers,
al
