 "Other courts have reached the same conclusion: software is sold
 and not licensed."

As for installing on multiple computers, I think that it's totally 
OK. For example, I can install it on a computer at my home and on 
another computer at my dacha. The key is that I can't legaly run 
it simultaneously on multiple computers if I own only one copy. As 
long as I don't do that, it's all fine and dandy.
