Computer Vision Lab Lines: 10 Subject: Re: "use[rd] software" Newsgroups: net.micro The piracy discussion has brought up an interesting question about reselling software. I believe that it is usually the policy of many software makers to allow transfer of software so long as you release all rights (and copies!). I'm basing this on the terms of sale of Infocom, Microsoft, and IBM who all include a passage to that effect. -Jay Weber {seismo!rlgvax!cvl!jcw}
