That actually made me remember a question to ask I thought of some time ago. I understand places like Amazon and Kobo etc, they have T&C when paying for ebooks, but Baen I can't for the life of me see any T&C. Now being DRM free and with the number of Baen CDs they have on the net, what is the end result with buying from Baen? Do you own a copy of the ebook? Or like other publishers do you own a licence granting you unrestricted access (but not transferability of ownership)?? Can I legitimately buy a Baen ebook and give a copy to someone?
