SeeYou Single Person License

I was going to buy a copy of SeeYou from a friend since he uses Strepla for
his flight reviews. He contacted SeeYou, and they told him that the license
was specific to him only. My understanding of the US Uniform Commercial
Code does not allow for single user restraints down to a specific user, it
only allows for constrains as to the quantity of users. For the legal types
out there, what is the legality of designating a license to a specific
person?


Jim,

This type of license conforms with US law as well as with European law.
Caveat - I'm not a US lawyer, but am Professor of Electronic Commerce
Law in London and know enough US federal law (which is primarily what is
involved here) to be sure of my statement. You might find some loophole
in your State consumer law, but not in the Uniform Commercial Code.

Put yourself in the position of Naviter, trying to service a tiny world
market, and ask if they could control transferrable licenses well enough
to stay in business.

So I'd say that both the legality and morality are on their side, not yours.
