Precisely I meant that IF you sell a software product, then either 1)
you have to give something in return [in addition to the "right to
use"], or 2) the product automatically falls under some sort of
"default" license which grants rights to use, copy, modify, reverse
engineer it to everybody.
N.B. A software house is free to choose (2) and protect the product
using activation keys etc. But then, anybody would have right to crack
that protection.
