You, the owner of a copy of the software, have the right to sell it through the operation of copyright law. You can sell the entire computer, just the hard disk, or even just the part of the hard disk that constitutes the copy if you can figure out how to do that. Licenses are not involved. What you do not have is the right to make and transfer to others additional copies of the software unless such a right has been granted to you in a contract between you and the copyright owner. A copy is a _thing_: a tangible object. A license is a grant of rights, generally part of a contract. It is intangible. You do not need a license to own a copy or to sell a copy you own. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
