What Alias is getting at is that all web sites, and stores, sell you
software. Don't they all have software departments, T.V. departments,
appliance departments etc.

Yet after they have sold you the "software", they try to tell you
that you have bought a license. Well, people DID NOT buy it in the
license department - did they?

Based upon that fact, and that even Microsoft offers you software
downloads (not license downloads) I think I also am going to begin to
state that I OWN the "software". The license that was in the package
is ancillary to the fact of my purchase, and I don't really have to
even read it.
The software is mine, whether I have a license or not!

Just to clarify, you own your copy of software, MS owns the copyright to
the software.
