@fsf I would like to know of you are able to sell it more than once? I'm currently going through all the info on your site and more and learn about licenses&free(dom) software. As far as I know for now, I think demanding pay for software from others, if they bought it first and then redistribute/resell, might conflict with your "will of freedom", but I haven't read it explicitly anywhere yet. I will educate myself more in coming days, but maybe someone could enlighten me?
