Used Software and License
« on: August 04, 2003, 01:11:43 AM »
Hello
There is a public debate in my country about the
sales of used software. Is this legal?
Several major IT companies from US said
in their EULA that user don't have the ownership
of the software, only the license to use it.
The license cann't be transfered to other parties.
The consumer advocate group said that it is
possible to sell used books, used music tapes,
and the new owner have right to use it.
Selling only license is similar to car company
selling only license "to travel using the car".
Is similar "license only" rule apply with
AmigaOS and MorphOS or other Amiga applications?
