Grex Scruples Item 60: Software Question
Entered by canis on Sun Aug 21 13:19:11 UTC 1994:

A close friend is need of a part of a program you posess. Your friend needs
it immeditaly and cannot wait for the company to process a letter, and send
him the file. The program is often used for useful things but can also be
used for things that are quite illeagle. Do you give your friend the program?

Yes.  If this is a program that needs to be purchased, I would say something
like, "You're going to pay for this, right?" to make sure that I was only
speeding up what s/he was getting anyway.  Since this is a close friend I
assume s/he is not utterly nefarious, so I wouldn't count it as my job to
police what s/he did with the program.

No the program has already been purchased and the buyer needs another file to
make it work, the file was corrupted for some strange reason.

Was the file corrupted before or after the program was installed to the hard
drive?

        Have done it several times, especially with Windows.

        Software isn't sold anymore, it's licences to use that software that
are generally sold ...
