From the Cisco EULA at : http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/general/warranty/English/EU1KEN_.html > Customer shall have no right, and Customer specifically agrees not to: > transfer, assign or sublicense its license rights to any other person or > entity (other than in compliance with any Cisco relicensing/transfer policy > then in force), or use the Software on unauthorized or secondhand Cisco > equipment Cisco's terms of sale incorporate by reference the EULA, which incoprorates the software resale policy (as shown above), so the original buyer would definitely be in trouble. The second-hand buyer could be liable for use of Cisco IP (intellectual property, not the other IP) without a proper license; I don't know if there's any case law on this, but I'm in no hurry to set a precedent. Matt: Unless you have evidence to the contrary, I'm gonna have to stick with original assertion, that random second-hand Cisco gear can't legally be used. I wish I were wrong, but I'm afraid I'm right. David Smith MVN.net -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
