READ THE REST OF MY POST! If one has, for example, a shrink wrapped copy, never opened (and thus never installed), it is perfectly legal to re-sell that copy. I believe that was citizen.org's case. Once you install it (eg open the box), then one 'has made a copy'. If you resell the box/CD/whatever, someone ends up with a non-legal copy (assuming that the software in question was not GPL or other open source, which was the case with the eBay vender vs Autodesk case that citizen.org defended). > > regards, > alexander. > > -- > http://gng.z505.com/index.htm > (GNG is a derecursive recursive derecursion which pwns GNU since it can > be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards > too, whereas GNU cannot.) > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows [email protected] -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/ _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
