Hi Bill,
This is NOT a defense against infringement. The author's rights are
total, and the author's monopoly is total. There is nothing in the
law that suspends those rights or monopoly even in the event of death
of the author, so being out of the market place is a specious
argument.
This, and everything else you've had to offer may in fact be done, I
see folks run red lights frequently too.
If you read his agreement carefully, it only
prohibits transfer of the software itself.
I've read many agreements, but not this one. If you have a means to
render it faithfully here, then perhaps so; otherwise those others
I've read inform me better.
Richard, I loved the "irony" comment, but there is nothing preventing
the product of a piece of software from being used for something else.
It's quite legal, and that's how "things" work.
Designing an antenna from a piece of software does not mean that the
antenna design belongs to the person who writes the software. That would
mean that the person who did the programming for a CAD program owns the
rights to all the devices designed with it.
