[dvd-discuss] Sun vs first sale



Interesting, but offtopic:

Sun seems to think that they can shrinkwrap-license away first sale.

An excerpt:

  Solaris New User Licenses for Used Systems Purchased from Third Parties

  Unless specifically authorized by Sun, the Solaris license does not 
  transfer to a subsequent end user when a Sun system or system board is 
  resold. If a customer buys a used (pre-owned) Sun system from a third 
  party (i.e. not from Sun), the customer is responsible for making sure 
  that the used system has a valid Solaris license and the correct Solaris 
  software.
