Yeah, but the idea here is that you aren't buying the hardware, you're
buying a license to use the hardware under certain terms.
This is a somewhat new thing, but it's not just "the last few years" --
license agreements are pretty well established law at this point, aren't they?
You may not like them (I don't particularly), but I think we're stuck with
them for now.
