This is all very silly and just another way restrictive practices are being
allowed to creep in despite laws intended to prevent them. How long will it
be before it is 'illegal' to sell a used car - my new one has 5 'computers'
with the attendant software which 'might' have been altered/tampered
with..... Its time people challenged some of these silly 'licenses' which,
in many cases't actually read until you have opened the product and thus
implicitly accepted terms which you don't yet know about.
No need to reply to this as, even though it directly affects everyone trying
to set up a home cnc project, it is probably considered 'off topic'.

Best wishes,
