I suspect Blue Tyson is referring to open source software. All the software on my home computers and my work computer is open source. The licence of every one of those programs allows me to install the software on as many computers as I wish. It even allows me to make copies and distribute them (under certain conditions, the conditions varying according to the licence).
An example that many users here will be familiar with is
Calibre. It's released under the GNU General Public License, v3. The licence states that it is "
designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies" of the software.
