Do you remember all the predictions on message boards all over the web by anti-GPL activists like Alexander Terekhov that someone could get a copy of Linux, under the GPL, and then make copies and sell them under another license, under the first sale doctrine? That fantasy has just died a permanent death. It was never true that one can do that. But now we can prove it with this Psystar ruling. Yes, Psystar can ask the US Supreme Court to review this.

In both cases, only if you are the owner of a copy. "Licensees are
not entitled to the essential step defense." <i>Vernor v. Autodesk,
Inc.</i>, 621 F.3d 1102, 1111 (9th Cir. 2010). It is a rare
decision that holds that a party is an owner of a copy of software
rather than a licensee. <br>
