Anyone who purchases any of my products is restricted by license from transferring them to anotehr person. Of course, as I retain full copyright to any of my brokered or otherwise sold or provided works, I can give away free copies to anyone I please. So the thing is, while the licence restricts you from transferring the Renderosity license, I hereby and previously grant any of my purchasers, be they Renderosity OR DAZ purchasers, the right not to transfer the license (as that would not be in accordance with the license) but the right to choose a single recipient of a free copy and provide that copy to them from their own copy with a license that includes the same terms as the license under which they purchased it, with this additional clause, under the agreement that their copy is deleted along with all but one single backup which they may keep for archive purposes but not for use*. Further, I grant a free license to use an existing copy as installed to any other user of the same computer on which it is installed, provided the copy is not moved to any other computer. Further, I provide the ORIGINAL purchaser the right to make a copy onto ANY computer THEY OWN. In other words, your wife and kids can use it too. As if I had to say that. (but technically the license precludes it) * That way, if you stop using Poser and give your stuff to your little brother, and he frags his hard drive, you can back it up for him, you just cannot use it anymore. Now, as a note to pirates -- if I catch any of you pirating my stuff, I'm going to scold you, tell you depressing things, and make you feel so guilty you'll expect me to make you eat chicken soup and matzo next, and I'll insist you do your damnedest to make a good render and post it and credit me properly. Well, not that I'd ever catch you. And you'll have to sing my praises aroudn my emerald throne for eternity. So don't so it. And by the way, can I pet your parrot or does he bite?
