Doesn't this conflict with decisions in favor of shrink-wrap licenses?
That is, the ones where you agree by opening a package to an agreement
that you can't even read until you've opened the package.

But isn't the stuff about just one copy part of the license, not
copyright law? I thought copyright law allowed you to make many copies
of things as long as only you are able to use them (and perhaps you
might have to use only one copy at a time).
I don't know. Just asking.
