@derklempner
i'm with everyone who says licences that try dictate to you what you can and can not do with something you have *paid for* are absurd
why the asteriges around paid for? you dont seem to under stand what a licence is all about when you have bought and legaly agreed to a licence you must follow the licence. how absurd is that
"re-read my earlier post, you can only buy a license to use Mac OS X on apple branded hardware."
true.
damn, does that mean I have to stop wiping my ass with OSX cds? would an apple tattoo on my left cheek satisfy the EULA?
you seem to be getting confused, a licence is for the software - not the medium on which it came... do you understand the difference between software and media? it seems to me you dont.
man! and all this time i've been feeding my chickens ground osx-cd feed.
well thats your problem... if you want me to reccomend a psychologist for you...
i suppose that violates the EULA too doesn't it.
again, you are confused with software versus A CD... and it probably does not violate the EULA, you would still own the right to the software(which is IP) even if you were to destroy the CD(which is a physical thing)
ho hum. now what will i feed the chooks?
i dont get your point here, moving on...
what i'm trying to say is that, as long as you have paid for it, i believe it should be up to the individual as to what they do with it.
you are free to believe whatever you want! if you have some software, you may release it under what ever damn licence you choose. however
they meaning the software developer, have their oppinion too, and that is spelled out in the EULA... dont agree to it? then dont agree to it! simple as that! send the software back
if i pay for something i'm gunna do damn well what i want with it,
so i assume that might mean pirate & modify it as well? well you will have to take that with apple, wont you..
regardless of what its original intended use is
its original intended use is for sale... to be sold to make the developer money.. if you dont like that derklempner, dont buy it
basically your attitude shows me your ignorance
your posts give insight into your psychology,
and the thing about feeding CD's only proves your poor state of mind...
... you are not well my friend, and your rant might just show how much professional help you may need
unless you are joking of course ;-) i would prefer to believe(for your sake) that you are only playing devils advocate here, and are not serious.
(who ever said ignorance is bliss? :-o )
