Free access to s/w that has provided oodles of extra cycles to projects
all over the world for about 20 years sounds like excellent value to me
and nothing whatsoever to do with the Backspace key.

I am not certain this is the licence tht applies to Condor today.

As I understand it, Red Hat and the University of Wisconsin have signed
a strategic
agreement to make Condor's source code available under an OSI-approved
license and
jointly fund ongoing co-development at the University of Wisconsin.

So this may come in the future, but may not be fully in place yet.

I am sure if you look back through past postings over several years you
will find satisfactory answers to these questions.

Can I suggest that proposing "they're in breach of their own license"
and
"this is BS" are not the best way to get the hard-working guys at
Madison to
respond. Sometimes being politeness gives better/faster responses.
