Note that 'license agreements' are not always upheld as legally valid. Quite a few of them are in fact, worded in ways or pushed onto the buyer in ways that void them. Which says -nothing- about this specific case, just that one should not presume it is or is not valid. The link is to the American 'federal' copyright laws. It doesn't link to what courts have done with those laws however - which is actually more important that the text of them. For that, try findlaw.com (free but limited), or westlaw.com (which is not free but has every case ruling valid in US courts). But, the more important question should be of ethics. Just ask if it would be right if someone did whatever you're thinking of doing in any given case to something that was yours...

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
