Lightspeed, Have some additional software but, what's the deal with offering programs such as MS works 2.0, Quattro Pro 4.0, Pizzaz Plus, etc?

That's quite a site. I was wondering if I could legally pass some of the old software I have to another user as I can't find any-where to purchase most of the old software I still own, such as Pizzaz Plus, M$Works 2.0, Part Magic 3, etc. There are many useful programs out here for dos/win3.x that no one except the end user seems to care about anymore. In other words, If you need a small integrated office suite, then why can't I send you Works 2.o?

The simple answer is yes, provided you transfer all the disks and associated files, and documentation, and dont keep a copy yourself on your computer. however, its not really quite that simple (what ever is!) as in a lot of instances, the software is actually leased, although a lot of people aren't really aware thar they have, in fact , leased and not bought the software (who reads entire EULAs anyways?) Leases (i think...) can only be transferred if explicitely authorized in thesoftware agreement. I believe that according to the strictest definirtion of the law , in many instances, a recipient of used software would have to reregistrer the software- and frankly, i dont think its technically legal to sell formerly leased of old software even... Realistically, this is in the most part unenforcable, and impractical, to say the least, and im not a lawyer so i dont know all the ins and outs of all of this, but suffice to say that theres a lot more restrictions than it would appear, and certainly in large part due to the fact that the software is considered independant of the medium it's contained on By more effectively tying software to the containement medium, there would be a realworld reference for used software, finally.The fact is, people , thrift stores, computer shops, do all the time sell or give away used software. well, thats my 2 cents on this....

Thanks Dominicus. Don't think I'll go so far as to retain consul for this. Just seems than something unsupported, not for sale, not admitted to by the authors, unbloated should be available to people who have a use for it.
