What? That seems both wrong and meaningless. You can compile as many programs as you want into a single DLL. Doesn't mean a thing.

It wasn't N programs packed into a DLL, it was one program (in a DLL) that acted like three different programs depending on how it was "started".

They were selling the same software as three different products.

You consider MS Word and Internet Explorer in the same DLL to be "the same software" rather than 3 different pieces of software packed in the same DLL?
