Re: [Handle-info] local server set up how to

Hi,

This is where the I Am Not A Lawyer (IANAL) acronym comes in handy --  
this is in no way an official or legal response -- but if you look at  
the agreement it states that you can do anything you want with the  
software UNLESS you are using it to resolve handles. Then you must  
get a prefix, register it, etc. The whole idea here is that we're  
trying to maintain the integrity of the system and make sure that any  
given handle can be resolved by any handle client just by starting at  
the Global root and so we're trying to discourage people from  
creating handles that won't work.

So if you're experimenting in the back room with a handle server and  
building applications and so on without exposing any of it publicly  
and not using it in any sort of a production environment such that  
there was no danger of putting out a lot of un-resolvable handles,  
then you certainly aren't breaking the spirit of the agreement. I'll  
check with the lawyer on the exact wording of the agreement.

Thanks,

Larry
