If you all remember when I spoke at the PLUG mtg about computer crime, one of
the subject that came up was OEM software. I stated that it was illegal to
sell this software. Technically this is still true, but the tides maybe
turning... (Keep in mind this decision is in California and doesn't effect
PA...yet)

Softman v. Adobe: What it Means for the Rest of Us
US Court says buyers can unbundle EULA-covered
software. If you find yourself paying for bundled
proprietary software and don't actually install
it, you can legally resell it no matter what the
End-User License Agreement (EULA) says. That's
what Judge Dean D. Pregerson wrote in his "Order
Re: Application For Preliminary Injunction" in
the case of Softman v. Adobe.
