Yeah, yeah.
Well, at least her own pseudo-paralegal conclusions are quite a

Once the license is first saled away, then
what stops you from putting a new license on
it? Say, a Microsoft license? From that
point onward, you can get rid of the second
license by first sale, etc., rinse and
repeat.
See why I think the Autodesk decision is
wrongly decided?"

He said it was a sale, not a license, because
there was no requirement to give back the old
CDs when you were done.
So the license goes poof. "

You are missing the legal dance being proposed.
If first sale trumps the license, there is no
GPL any more, and so the GPL doesn't say
anything or require anything. It's over. "
Ha ha.
