Sure, but please don't take my statement the wrong way. I mean, few people today
spend the time to read warranties and licenses cause they are boring (some
people think they are like that on purpose, so to make you sign it and not
really read it) but for instance in Italy you cannot ask a person to don't
resell a copy of a program after having used it (other are the prohibition to
reverse a code, or in some cases to make a backup...).

Of course one needs to uninstall the copy from the HD before. But for many years
licenses were insisting with the nonsense that one buys the right to use program
and that this can't be sold again. So my approach presently is to dislike in
general statements in the licenses which put restictions on actions were they
can't.

Imagine what would happen if a company would sell cars asking in the contract
not to tell to other how much gasoline the engine uses in your experience!

I really don't know and would like to know if this can be done.

Franz
