I /*READ */what Markus wrote; I thought /*several times*/ before
writing. And after thinking several times, I still reached the
conclusion that Max Chernoff /*cannot*/ and /*should not */be required
to conform with the requirements of a multi-user licence if he is
installing on a single-user machine. The fact that the TeX Live
infrastructure does not make it possible for KOMA-script to identify
unambiguously whether or not it is being installed on a multi-user
system is clearly a defect in the TeX Live infrastructure which should
be addressed.

Please avoid /ad hominem/ attacks, Norbert — it is unfortunately only
too characteristic of your preferred style of replying, and does little
or nothing to enhance your reputation.

Yes, licencing requirements, whilst clearly necessary and acceptable for
proprietary software, are a complete and utter pain in the @rse in the
open-source world — I have never thought otherwise. The sooner they are
abolished for free-as-in-libre software the better.
