Yeah, the last thing that anyone wants to do is "blow a whistle" at an employer. Employers are wonderful things. They give us jobs, the ability to support our family, and they are not normally malicious. They generally want to do what is right. They also realize the cost of things such as software and the such. Since I believe in the ethics of Free Software, it also compels me to consider the ethics of other types of software. Am I using it correctly? Is my business using it correctly. At my last job, we had one person who was in charge of all the licenses for any software we used. It's a lot of work, and costs money to keep up with all of that.If you just can't sit still, and you feel that you _must_ take action, consider Ammon on his mission among the Lamanites. He had no authority (much like many of us) and yet he was able to influence the king of the land to change his ways. He didn't do it by sending a memo to the king outlining his sins or reporting him to the authorities, but rather he worked as a model employee who accomplished extraordinary things. The king took note, and Ammon gained favor in his eyes. At _that_ point, and not a minute before, he taught the king how to change. Perhaps this story applies to many of us as well.
