It should say "buy time-limited license"

We need to use simple language that everyone understands. "Rent" is the right word for this transaction. Sellers hate it because no one like rent at buy prices.
In British English “lease” is the word for something between “buy” and “rent”.

“Lease this content for 10 years” is a deal that makes perfect sense, even if the sellers might hate it

Aka "renting"
More like "business-interest-limited license".
