All software is licensed by the author and is usually non-transferable.
No one seems to read the licensing agreements that come with all
software, but it ususally states that the license is good only to the
person that purchased it. You cannot legally sell or give software to
anyone or use it on multiple computers, without buying another license. >>
Recently Daimler Benz purchased Chrysler Corp. What you are saying is
every piece of software Chrysler owned will now have to be re-purchased. (Boy
are they going to be mad).
