This is the way I've always understood the law (and please correct me
if I'm wrong): It is perfectly fine and legal to buy one copy of a
program and put it on 2 computers _IF_ you can be 100% sure that only
one copy of it is running at once.  The moment you run the same
program on two different computers at once is the moment you're
breaking the law.
