OK, let's say I pull an old PC and some boxes
out of a dumpster, and
there's a set of original AutoCAD Release 9 disks. By your rule, how
can I tell if I own a legit copy or not?
You only own a legit copy if those disks are the last legit set in the
licensed set. I.E. if someone has upgraded the disks (and you can't
tell) this is not a legit copy, it's part of the upgrade. You have, in
essense, part of another's license.
