For that you need a licence.
17 USC 109 (known as "copyright exhaustion" in Europe), stupid. I have all the rights to sell/dispose that sheet of paper. Heck, according to http://arbiter.wipo.int/domains/panel/profiles/hoeren.pdf (Judge, Court of Appeal of Dusseldorf (Copyright Senate), etc.) even "contractual limitation of this principle is held to be invalid" in Germany, my GNU friend. http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/resources/feedback/OIIFB_GPL3_20040903.pdf "The European Software Directive has provided that the exhaustion of the copy of a program is applied Community-wide by a first sale of that copy in the Community with the consent of the right-holder; once an author has sold a copy of a work, he or she loses the exclusive distribution right with respect to that work. A contractual limitation of this principle is held to be invalid, at least in Germany and Austria." Oh, Ah, BTW, http://groups.google.de/groups?selm=41B063A6.FB9A7B6B%40web.de http://groups.google.de/groups?selm=41B09B5B.CE0D29FB%40web.de it went for EURO 6.50 on ebay a couple of weeks ago. http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7133325141 regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
