But licenses in general you don't just "buy", you "earn" them somehow, then also usually you pay a price for it too, but it's typically about knowing about some rules and/or norms.
- jdiff 1mo agoSoftware licenses are bought all the time.
- embedding-shape 1mo agoSure, but that's a very different type of license compared to a hunting license, driver license or similar stuff, you know, the context.
- pc86 1mo agoAnd the initial comment that started this was that "Purchase license" in reference to this... software license... wasn't clear. Arguing about whether you buy a hunting license or that it's not a perfect analogy seems pedantic and irrelevant.
- embedding-shape 1mo ago> Arguing about whether you buy a hunting license or that it's not a perfect analogy seems pedantic and irrelevant It's a completely different thing, it's like comparing buying a "license" (ticket) to ride a roller coaster and taking a driving license, they're obviously different things, not exactly pedantic, imo.
- jdiff 1mo agoYeah. But we're talking about software licenses here. It was more weird hunting and drivers licenses ever got brought up.
- embedding-shape 1mo ago> It was more weird hunting and drivers licenses ever got brought up Agreed! :)
