you will see that this is the license terms on every single page on
www.intel.com and developer.intel.com if I am not mistaken.
I may be wrong, but isn't this very similar to copyright notices on
scientific journals where you are allowed to make copies for personal use,
but can't make mass copies without contacting the author? (IANAL, etc)
I do not intend to defend or rationalize the limitations in any way, but I
hope Debian will stay away from the paranoia that seems so prevalent amongst
some free software developers/advocates.
