Actually, I've never seen a software license that guarantees to take
up disk space, though the note on the label generally implies you'd
best have a bunch to spare. Hell, I've only seen one _printed book_
with a space guarantee, when Robert A. Heinlein in his _Expanded
Universe_ promised that the book would contain enough pages to hold
the covers apart or your money back. (Mind you, lots of computer
documentation would fail _that_ promise if they attempted it, be it
hardware or software manuals).
