So would you let the licensee control the sale or would you control the sale of your license?

That's what this thread was all about and a lesson to those who think someone who could be failed, short of money and getting out of the business is the best person to control that sale. Which is what 11 people think and many more I suspect.

What if the largest bid for the program and content comes from Zango or Megarotic? They will run a site within the terms of the original license that might of been written before spyware and Tubes were around. Do people expect a person getting out of the business to turn down the largest bid because it suits them?

There are content providers who do allow the licensee to to transfer the license, are you one of them? Thanks for the spam, neither of you answered the question while spamming. Maybe I should go search for your policy.

To others. The new buyer is not getting it for free, the selling licensee is charging him for it. His concern is the money. Not the person I would give the transfer rights to.

Strange how the flaming and debate has stopped since I explained why we have our policy.
