    Sorry, no, you so are off your rocker it's not funny.  See this, this is
me not laughing.

    Bzt.  That would be at the determination of the employer who licensed the
use of that software.

    Just as I am certain that EULA's don't include clauses like "This can only
be used for the promotion of the business form whom this license has been
granted.  Any use outside of aforementioned acceptable use is strictly forbidden."

    And since the software in question wasn't named there's no way you can
justify your position any more than I can mine.  Although my position does
have fair use on it's side.  So how about you pull your head out of your high
horse's posterior.  Trust me, there are no clues in there.
