The employer may not legally redistribute *and* then also require the
recipients to do foo and bar and not to do x and y.
But: it doesn't seem entirely clear that an employer giving an employee
a CD with which to do some work is, in fact, redistributing. I the work
is to be done on machines owned by the employer, I suppose that is
definitely *not* redistribution. OTOH if the work is to be done on the
employee's own machine, I wonder if that might require a pro forma
redistribution (into RAM) of an incidental copy, in which case the
employee *would* be redistributing (to hirself) *as an agent* of hir
employer. Once sie has that copy, sie can do as sie pleases since the
employer has no right to impose further restrictions. Or maybe not
(IANAL).
