Not to be a jack, but before you go jumping all over Freak, I suggest you check your facts. Here is part of the license agreement for Self Test Software, and it clearly states that you cannot lend or rent the software to anyone else, nor is the license transferable to anyone else!
Software License Agreement
This is a legal agreement between you, the end user, and Self Test Software, Inc. a Georgia corporation ("STS"). This software is protected by copyright laws and remains the sole property of STS. By installing Self Test Software (the "Software"), you agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of this agreement and you received the Software electronically discontinue the install (if you received media then promptly return the uninstalled media to the address below).
1. Grant of License. STS hereby grants to you a nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonassignable, limited right to use one copy of the enclosed Software in object code form only on a single terminal connected to a single computer and only for your individual, personal, non-commercial use. SHARING THIS SOFTWARE WITH OTHERS OR ALLOWING OTHERS TO VIEW THE CONTENTS OF THIS SOFTWARE IS A VIOLATION OF THIS LICENSE. You may not network this Software or otherwise use it on more than one computer or computer terminal at the same time unless you purchased a corporate package pursuant to a separate license agreement."
3. Copyright. The Software is owned by STS and protected by United States copyright laws and international treaty provisions. Therefore, you must treat this Software like any other copyrighted material. You may not make this Software or copies thereof available in any manner or form or use, copy or transfer the Software, in whole or in part, except as provided herein.
4. Other Restrictions. You may not rent or lease this Software to any other party. You may not alter, merge, modify, adapt, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, or disclose the contents of this Software to any other party.
So, neuralfx, it would be my understanding from this that Self Test Software cannot be traded under any circumstances.

| well my bad, I was wrong.. I didnt read her post i thought she was talking about something else when she said STS.. didnt realize it was an actaul *brand*... though.. I'm not a lawyer and I still question that's what the eula states.. "nontransferable".. so you cant give software away freely (noncommericially)at the same time relinquishing you're right to own the license? that means anyone who has ever given software away as a present or whatever that has a eula like that.. has violated it.. hm seems odd.. i dunno | |
|
| any way you look at it, no you cannot use the software, then "transfer" the licence for someone else.
People work hard to create this material. Pay them the money if you think that they deserve it... | |

| In America if you buy something, ex: a car, house, or any other physical good - we can sell it. Why should software be any different. As long as the original user is NOT still using the software, the software developers should not legally be able to prohibit you from selling/giving this good to another person.
This is a clear example of another unacceptable license agreement (aren't they all?)- IMHO of course. | |
|
| Simply because you did NOT buy the software. What you bought was the right for yourself to use it -- not someone else. Hence the term license.
Go ahead and try to purchase Word from Microsoft. I am sure it will cost you a couple of million  | |

| I just think software licensing is getting out of hand, which is the point I was trying to make. When a Microsoft operating system and MS office retail for more than my brand new Dell I don't see the values being at the same level. Just my opinion...
Dell 1Ghz $599 was my comparison. | |
|
| You may well have a point there, alothough nobody says you have to us a MS OS... There are cheaper alternatives.
Also, the two markets are unrelated. The OS and SW markets are not getting hit as hard as the HW market, hence they do not have to slash their prices to attract clients... | |

| Most OEM software and parts for computers say not for resale. How do so many PC shops get aroung the copyright law by selling OEM parts seperately right off the shelf? | |
|
| good question... still does not make it legal though... |
