Yes, and the other little fact that Copyright does not *technically*
apply to the government from what I remember.  Technically the US
government can use as many copies of MS-Windows it wants without paying
Microsoft any money, but all divisions of the government have Policies
against this.  I don't remember what, read all of the Windows license
for example some time, it has specific wording for government use.
