Re: Labview 8.5.1 Now available for download

I wouldn't even begin to use the term "public license" to describe this distribution.

If you check the acknowledgement email you'd see clearly that they know who is using and on what computer they are using it on.

This is clearly a time limited highly specific version of LabView with the purpose of broadening the opportunity to learn "How To".

To Quote the email

The activation code(s) above were generated with the following serial number and for the following computer:

Serial Number: L12R86754
Computer ID: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

This serial number has been used to generate activation codes for FIRST Robotic Competition on 67 different computers in the past 365 days.
