Is there any protection against software piracy?

We don't build any in, but the same strategies (ie, requiring a license key, etc) that work for regular applications like Microsoft Word also work for fluid applications. The bits can be copied easily, but the same is true for traditional software.

Crazy strategies, like CDs that physically can't be copied and must be in the drive or kernel extensions obviously won't work, but that's probably a good thing. =)
