@fsf Interesting question.
I would think based my understanding, that a license is an agreement between two parties. If someone steals a CD, that would mean that regardless what the "LICENSE" file on that CD says, there was no license agreement between the parties in a legal sense.
And in that regard, the thief would have no right to do anything that the license agreement enables.
Is my assessment wrong?
