   It's not a good solution if e.g. your house burns down so you   
   lose any evidence you had a license and need to buy a new   
   PC.   
      
   Or if you want to help a friend set up a PC.   
      
   Or start a business.   
      
   If Freedos is more than you need, why not create a trimmed-down   
   installation of it?   
      
   Incidentally, I have such a trimmed down installation myself.   
      
   Along with what is apparently the only surviving copy of   
   Open Watcom 1.6 on the net.
