For clarity I need to make you all aware that the following applies ...
Personally purchased or licensed software must not be installed on College owned systems and vice versa - thus if college funds purchase the license then it can only be installed on a College owned system - this rule applies for all software.
In this instance I was referring to a license purchased with fund that the individual controls themselves, presumably going through the college purchasing system if Wolfram allow that. It would be both college owned and on a college owned machine, albeit one largely managed by the individual.
Given that Wolfram are claiming the illegal use was perpetrated by machines which fall into both College owned and personally owned systems then I foresee further issues if someone uses a personally licensed copy of Mathematica from a personal system whilst on the College network and there is no College license in place!
So anyone visiting the college with a legal Mathematica on their laptop who uses it here will cause a problem - conference delegates, visiting academics, rich undergraduates, graduate students who've bought it at student rates...? That sounds perverse. Dave
