I'm not sure how many of you have seen this yet,
but Adobe has lost a
suit regarding the transferrability of software licenses. The court
has rules that even if the wording of a license specifically prohibits
the resale of the software by the original buyer to a new owner, the
original owner is within their rights in doing so.
Of course, without a doubt, Adobe will likely appeal this at least as
far as the California Supreme Court. We can only hope they'll lose
there as well.
We can only hope that common sense will continue to prevail.
