SeeYou users.

Forwarding your SeeYou key to a third party is not allowed according to the
license you have agreed upon when installing the SeeYou. A snip out of the
license agreement: "After you have received the registration key for the
software it is not possible to return or resell it without permission of the
authors of this software."

What Paul is asking you to do is illegal from where SeeYou and Strepla
businesses come from.

It is also very questionable in terms of commercial ethics, but I hope we
don't have to go into that on a public newsgroup. Being an ever optimist, I
am sure we (the parties involved) can talk as adults even though we are
competitors on a free market. It's been that way so far.

Enjoy using the software you like best.

While you are completely right, I find this kind of software licence
highly questionnable. Why should commercial software be different of
any other commercial product, i.e. when you don't want to use it any
more, but it is still usable, why can't you sell it to anybody wanting
to use it? Because of this kind of restrictions, I will probably always
avoid to buy such software.
