Hi
Installing John Deere Office into my desktop PC (win 98se) the licence terms state that the jdoffice software shall only be run on a Microsoft platform. ----- How will that be possible in an interoperability layer like Wine.
John Deere Office is an important part of Greenstar farming system.
The license it self appears to be very restricive in attempting to control where it is run.
Is that legal in most countries?
Has anyone even read the licence terms before agreeing to them?

How far would Shell Oil co get it it would only let us use their fuel in a Ford?
