I've not paid for any eBooks that have included any language to the effect that it is a license I've purchased and not the book itself. And, as of yet, no one has asked me to give one back yet either.
You can compare the purchase of an ebook to a license because of the similarities in the rights you have but that is an affect of the DRM that you choose to accept when you agree to purchase the book at the specified price.
On the other hand I've got several eBooks that have no DRM that specifically says I can share them and pass out copies.
