I’m guessing the Terms of Service covers that.

Reading the EULA (End Users License Agreement) for nearly -any- modern software is an enlightening experience. It's not just Microsoft -- practically all of them have astonishing limitations and restrictions on what you can do, and what you can successfully complain about.

The open source licenses (GPL, BSD) are more up-front by far, but their message is basically: "Best of luck, Bucko! Hope it works for you."

"The large print giveth and the small print taketh away."
-- Tom Waits, "Step Right Up", Small Change (1976).
