I would say this statement is clear enough. They just want control over<br>
who they send their documents to (preferably not to any compition ;-).<br>
<p>
But they allow you to use that information freely in any driver. So it<br>
seems it is time to startup your favorite editor as soon as the documents<br>
arrive.<br>
