Thursday at 06:19 PM1 day Hi.I've noticed that the Unraid EULA says this:No License Transfers. Lime Technology does not support the transfer of the License to any third party for any reason whatsoever. If you are an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) partner or purchasing the Software on behalf of a third party, please select the OEM option at checkout, and this EULA shall govern your and the third party’s use of the Software.Which might very well be valid in the US and somewhere else, but in the EU it has been ruled (in a Oracle case none-the-less) that:"Articles 4(2) and 5(1) of Directive 2009/24 must be interpreted as meaning that, in the event of the resale of a user licence entailing the resale of a copy of a computer program downloaded from the copyright holder’s website, that licence having originally been granted by that rightholder to the first acquirer for an unlimited period in return for payment of a fee intended to enable the rightholder to obtain a remuneration corresponding to the economic value of that copy of his work, the second acquirer of the licence, as well as any subsequent acquirer of it, will be able to rely on the exhaustion of the distribution right under Article 4(2) of that directive, and hence be regarded as lawful acquirers of a copy of a computer program within the meaning of Article 5(1) of that directive and benefit from the right of reproduction provided for in that provision."Links: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:62011CJ0128https://curia.europa.eu/site/upload/docs/application/pdf/2012-07/cp120094en.pdfDon't get me wrong, I love Unraid for what it is and the value it provides, but it seems some provision to the EULA must be added?
