Al,

And (I suppose), if you already have a full license, you can take full 
advantage of it, no need to install restricted licenses... Am I right?

As for the FPGA toolset, I'd like tou to clarify something to me: the Web 
Edition of Quartus (from Altera) is free, but only functional for 150 days. 
What happens nect? Someone at comp.arch.fpga mentioned that simply asking 
for a web edition license works just fine, and that it takes just one day, 
two at most. Is that true? Would I need to reinstall the tools? Would I need 
to format the hard drive where it is installed, in order to clean up 
registry entries? Somewhere (maybe comp.dsp?) I read that for example, If 
you want to reinstall a Test Drive (which means: evaluation) version of 
VisualDSP++ on the same computer, you'd had to reformat your hard drive, 
because any newer installation will recognize that a previous installation 
expired. Is it the same as with Altera?

Very good point.  If you wanted to use one of these for 
prototyping it would probably be a _lot_ less expensive 
overpopulating the memory by a factor of four than it would 
be to buy the unencumbered tools.  Do I understand correctly 
that the limitation is to 1/4 of whatever amount of program 
memory is installed, that you can increase that with this 
kit, and that that is the only limit placed on the software?

The program memory is DSP internal and can't be extended --- however,
the internal memory of these processors is gigantic (if you program in
assembler). The limit of 1/4 program memory might become a problem is
you use C/C++.

However, it would be nice of Al the state what 1/4 program memory
specifically amounts to for each chip (saving us the time to download
and scan all of the datasheets).
