# 1.4 "Deploy" means to use, sublicense or distribute Covered Code
# other than for Your internal research and development (R&D) and/or
# Personal Use, and includes without limitation, any and all internal
# use or distribution of Covered Code within Your business or
# organization except for R&D use and/or Personal Use, as well as

"use", like, for example, compile a piece of software. You don't
need to distribute openwatcom to anyone to fall within this clause.
