This is pretty funny!   I have often said that software developers should be
forced to use thier own products for a living.  Wake them up real fast.

As to the restriction in the license how can Omega unilaterally restrict a
licensee's right to sell the product he owns?    I doubt such a restriction
is enforceable.   Even if it was enforceable what would the damage to Omega
be from a private sale?   If there is no measurable financial damage what
could Omega do about it besides hassle Ebay sellers.  It is doubtful Omega
would ever try to sue anybody since the legal costs and wasted time would be
prohibitive in light of the lack of actual damages.  All Omega can really do
is refuse tech support to the new buyer.  Big deal.

They must trade Rough Rice for twenty years using TS2K on a winME
system (with 64 megs of ram) without any chance of
e-mini/TS4/Win2K parole.
