Sure, but I'm not making a statement about the ethics of it. I'm just stating that that's the current reality. That's how commercial software is sold. I'll freely agree it's a bullshit practice and we should actually be able to own things, but that's a whole different discussion.
K, but conquer4 certainly seemed to be either implying it or making an irrelevant distinction, since the comment they replied to was a "should" kind of comment.
