And in answer to your question, off the shelf software is subject to exhaustion of IP rights, so question is moot! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaustion_of_intellectual_property_rights …
-
I wasn't thinking about exhaustion! Might it apply to OSS software (recent changes only apply to "licenses" with significant usage restrict)
-
My vague understanding (and I'm not a lawyer!) is that exhaustion requires a purchase, but I may be totally wrong.
-
Yeah I'm looking for the legal (or case law) definition of "authorized purchase" and didn't find anything about consideration or "free"
-
There's some stuff about nonprofits and libraries (could be relevant but not reading case law on my phone to find out)

I mean, this is the problem with reading law. It doesn't always mean what it means! It means what lawyers and judges and tradition says.
-
Sure, I'd love to see precedent for an unrestricted license to use construed as being restricted to only part of the rights needed to use.
-
People treat MIT as being a license about the Copyright IP but it really isn't. It's a license to use / trade.
