One does not “sell” a license agreement, one “enters into it with a third party”. Wether it is digital or not.

Factually, yes, one does sell licenses.

> one “enters into it with a third party”.

One also does that. When one offers to do so, in exchange for money, it is also selling the license. You are simply setting up a false dichotomy.

I suppose I could have put ‘sales’ in quotes. And it’s not how I think things should be. It’s how they are. Read the terms next time you ‘buy’ a digital product.
