The announcement says (to quote the quote above): "The license allows 
VSI to integrate features of Process Software's MultiNet software..."

Seems like VSI would need a separate license if they wanted to pick on 
TCPware... Now I'm sure that could be arranged easily, if wanted, but 
going by the quote above, I think it's safe to say that VSI is going to 
use MultiNet, and not TCPware.
