I'm extremely pleased to say that my current employer,
a large multinational, owns all the appropriate licenses.
A number of smaller firms I've worked with didn't.
I'm wondering if size really does matter here? <g> Does
the fact that a company has an extremely strict legal
department (worried about lawsuits) and a definite
policy (that indicates that using pirated sw is a firing
offense) account for this?
Is there anyone else with similar experience? Larger
companies buy, smaller companies get away with what
they can?
