This is the equivalent of only being able to use a part on one item.
What if your OS identified every part by serial number?
You could only use that video , modem,sound card etc.in it's original
computer it came with.Once you legally buy an item it's yours.
At best EULA is taking back what you bought.No matter how many times
a person builds another computer at home for their own private use.
That copy of windows they bought should be theirs.I wish they would do the same thing with the hardware items.So every 2 years you throw away your
computer and OS and start over.What a great deal.I don't use linux yet......
but,as time goes along more will be forced to.I just hope Linux is able to get permission to use/operate the hardware that is ID'd for single one time use.
The EULA (parts of it anyway) is not about making sure you buy the software, it's about making sure you buy it as many times as possible. Like music and movies.Hardware may be next.It's already possible.
