European Court Rules to Protect Secondhand Software Sales
posted on by Kimberly Grace
The European Union Court of Justice ruled last week that software producers can no longer prevent consumers from reselling licenses. The case between software producer Oracle and UsedSoft, a German company that made profit from buying and reselling software licenses from consumers, was decided in favor of UsedSoft. The court's judgement stated that a software author's license to distribute is exhausted after its initial distribution. The judgement will apply to both preexisting and future end-user license agreements.
