I wrote this newsgroup on April 8 of this year asking the exact same
question. The thread is here:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.idl-pvwave/bro wse_thread/thread/c7427292e352938c/9df63979178d7896?q=mankof f&rnum=27#9df63979178d7896

I also sent the question to RSI and got a reply from them:

While this does not answer your question, their wording implies that
once your license expires you do not maintain the rights to their
libraries.

But I think if you look around
http://www.astro.washington.edu/deutsch/idl/htmlhelp/

You'll find that almost all the IDL code has been duplicated by
someone else somewhere else. You are probably allowed to use that.
And the above site has posted the IDL 4.0.1 libraries on the web for
anyone to see...
