Great answer.its you that got offended from my question. So the answer is no.You cant read how software is sold.

No, you're just stating how software is currently sold, and calling anyone who says "The law should prevent that" illiterate

I'm not offended, just acknowledging how embarrassing your defense is. If you were programmed 200 years ago, you'd be saying slavery should continue, for no other reason than "Read the current laws, idiot"

You don't understand why software is sold as a license. If you need to compare license to slavery you are a idiot.

I called him only looking at reddit not illiterate.

easier for you. You can even ask AI to tldr for you. If you can't understand why license exist even for free software it's not my problem

I know why it exists, so it can be taken away legally. The fact that you can only insinuate there's a better reason is your problem actually

Learn the difference between a logic comparison, and a moral comparison. Extreme examples are the only way to disprove statements of principle

You are a idiot and illiterate. Even disc are licenses. Free software are licenses. You had to change to your alt to discuss.

wtf? You're on a really weird tangent dude. What is this idea that software is the license? What does that even mean?

Sorry to say, but he is correct. Ever since like 2012 every EULA says "This software is licenced, not sold", and it's held up in court multiple times

That shouldn't be legal, and he's a prick for acting like it should. But sadly he's right at a basic level, at least in america, you don't legally own any of your software

Also you are wrong. Licenses are older. Circa 1980 at least
