I feel like he's returned the favor a thousand fold! My question is this. I'd like to *hand... |

The tool is licensed, not sold, and customers cannot sell it or lend it to others. Nor can they sell or lend the jigs they make with it. Were all familiar with license agreements on software tools that limit what you can with the product. But what about a license agreement on a real tool limiting what you can with the product and the things you make with it? Shrinkwrap licenses are showing up everywhere, a reader recently wrote. I just bought a jig... |

| November 4, 2002 Different Face for Cover of Popular MechanicsBy DAVID CARR n the universe of male subjects for magazine covers, there are only a few sure things.
