But you'd still might want the "default" one for people that have both
Pentium and Athlon systems.  Either that, or if you're going to include
both CD #1s, how much additional effort is it to add a 3rd???

If consumers are liable to "correctly" license someone's IP, why aren't
IP holders held liable when they unjustly force the same consumers to
license the same IP more than once?  "Piracy" is a double-edged sword.
