Does the license allow me to do that? Usually OEM software bundled with hardware doesn't allow that so I'm not sure in this case. Usually all software (bundled or not) allow one to give away the software, or in some cases even resell it, as long as certain conditions are met. The main provision

If, instead, the dirt is really chemical compounds or small partially dissolved pieces of emulsion, then ICE probably wouldn't help as infrared light would pass through it as easy as the film itself. If anyone with ICE notices this type of dirt, you might report to us if ICE is of any use.
