(1) Most people know that software can be very expensive. However, many people do not know that even though you pay a lot for software, you do not necessarily own it. What happens, then, when you pay for a piece of software? Very few developers grant you actual ownership of a program, even after you 'purchased it. Instead of buying the software itself, you are actually paying for a license that grants you permission to install and use the software. Why a License? Software developers have good reason for licensing software instead of selling it outright: Piracy - software piracy, which costs developers billions of dollars every year, is the act of copying software without the developer’s consent and without paying the developer and then selling or giving away the copies. If you install the program on multiple computers at the same time, that is piracy too. By licensing their products and maintaining some ownership of them, developers can take action against pirates. Modifications - Most license agreements state that you cannot make modifications to a program’s source code. If developers allowed this, it would be an easy matter for others to make changes to a program and then try to claim the modified program as their own. But even though the developer keeps most rights to a program, you have some rights, too. If the program does not perform as you expected, you have the right to return or exchange it.
