How do you figure that?  I can't see anything that will stop cracks?  Looks
to me like they are trying to database systems for licence info.  Not
something I need people to do.  This is a little more information then they
need and I'm not the type to spend $150us either.  But you can alway open
the package extract the rpm and skip them.  But if they are digging for info
here what will they do in a binary???  I'll stick to open source products,
Thanks though

I rate this one.....
two thumbs down...
