[gui-talk] License for DBT

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

You are probably thinking that someone upgraded their Duxbury from 10.5 to
10.7, for example,  and that they could give you a license to use 10.5 since
they are no longer using it.  Commercial software, including adaptive
software and screen readers, doesn't work that way.  People don't have a
right to give you older software if they are using a newer version of the
same software under the same license.
