License means my right to use the software, which is different from the software itself. Its my understanding that it only matters if you can transfer a license for a product you do not have redistribution rights for already. In such a case, you could give the product, your activation (because this usually applies to commercial software) and everything else that came with the product to another person, thus transferring all the rights you had to them and sacrificing them yourself. Because I can distribute the software itself, I don't need to have a transferable license.
Hope that helps. John P.S: Amazingly, I've actually seen a few pieces of software who do provide simple versions of licenses and/or other legal documents. They're one of my favorite legal things to run across. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Charles Rivard" <wee1s...@fidnet.com> Sent: Sunday, October 12, 2014 10:36 PM To: "Gamers Discussion list" <gamers@audyssey.org> Subject: Re: [Audyssey] 1812 hard of winter You might be right. But the first part is confusing. It says that you are granted a personal license. It also mentions that the license is nondistributable. "You are hereby granted a personal, non-transferable and non-sublicenseable, nonexclusive, world-wide, royalty free copyright license". I wish the documentation would state things in plain layman's English rather than using confusing legalese. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
