When You Treat Your Customers Like Criminals, Don't Be Surprised When They Go
To Different Suppliers

,----[ Quote ]
| An anonymous reader sent in the following story about how some large software 
| companies are suddenly increasing the number of "software audits" they're 
| doing of enterprise buyers. Most enterprise software contracts include 
| license terms that allow the software provider to "audit" the buyer, to make 
| sure they're not abusing the license. As the article notes, however, such 
| audits usually only come at one of two times: (1) when a company threatens to 
| switch to another vendor or (2) when the company has received info from a 
| reliable source that the license was being abused.
