You are completely missing the point with your example and it's in no way similar to what's happening here. Free to use and free to sell are completely different concepts.
Just because someone gave you the right to use for free something that belongs to them doesn't mean you are allowed to sell that right or that "something", or even pass it on for free.
- zenexer 7y agoI'm countering the analogy, not the case of Corellium. You're right: the analogy used here misses the point; it's not the same as what Corellium was doing. The analogy is harmful because it implies that it's unreasonable to expect that like Microsoft and Apple would allow their software to be used for free for research purposes; it doesn't mention resale of the software. I don't see that as an unreasonable expectation; Microsoft does it without issue. Edit: Just to be clear, Microsoft is not offering these VMs as a service. You are required to download the image and run it yourself. It’s basically just a license to use Windows for free as long as it’s for a specific kind of research.
