Licensing confusion

[Mattias Westlund]

This reminds me, and I need to look it up so that I'm clear on the facts, but IIRC there are points in the EULA's of commercial libraries that may or may not be valid depending on where in the world you live. Don't quote me on this, but for example I seem to remember that the "not for resale" clause in most libraries is invalid in all EU countries. Meaning, a developer may claim all they want that you can't sell your license and content to somebody else, but this is not globally valid and developers often take advantage of this (though one would think that they would be legally obliged to state that their EULA is applicable only to certain countries or regions).

Here in Sweden at least I'm pretty sure that the laws that are in place to protect customers from dodgy business practices overrides anything that any foreign company says in their EULA.
