  Wrong.  I have the License Agreement right in front of me.  Both the
Canandian, and US license agreements state that you may:

"treat the software like any other copyrighted material (eg. a book) except
that if the software is not copy protected you may either (a) make one copy
of the software solely for backup or archival purposes, or (b) transfer the
software to a single hard disk provided that you keep the original solely for
backup or archival purposes.  You may not copy the product manual(s) or
written materials accompanying the software."

  Therefore, if the software is installed at your friends house, and you do
not posess any other copy of the software, then there is nothing wrong with
it.  Furthermore:

"you may not rent or lease the software, but you may transfer your rights
under this Microsoft License Agreement on a permanent basis provided you
transfer all copies of the software and all written materials, and the
recipient agrees to the terms of this Agreement."

  Therefore, if you wish to give your friend your copy of QuickBASIC, it's
your right to do so.  Basically, they just want only ONE user or computer
system to be able to access the program at any given time.
