I'm starting to think that you are being elusive on purpose again, so I'll put my question on the most detailed way possible.
In what a
licensing contract should ever look, smell, or be presented differently than a
sale? Given that in both cases I see a customer approaching a reseller who give him a product (in case of a sale) or the digital support which will provide the service (in case of licencing a software), given that in both cases the customer pays and the reseller gives a receipt or a similar notice like "I received money from you in exchange for this product/service",
where should be the difference?
Seriously: I go to the mall, grab a pair of shoes, I pay. It's a sale.
I go to the mall, I grab a DVD, pay the DVD: it's a licenced software.
And it's perfectly fine, but you say that no, in UK it's not a licenced software
because it's being sold as in a normal sale. Why? Where is the difference?
As I asked before:
How should they sell it, and how is it actually sold instead?
