Just curious:  did someone throw the tired "troll" accusation your way? 
  It's so overused across Internet discussions that in most cases I've 
come across it says far darker things about the accuser's inability to 
see fresh information as fresh than it does about the intentions of the 
accused.

Well, other companies aren't required to pay $603 million in penalties 
for crimes against the public, so the rules sometimes vary with 
Miocrosoft. ;)

But seriously, thank you for the clarification.  It's probably useful to 
know for US readers because the environment here in the States is far 
more litigious and restrictive.  Your clarification will help potential 
buyers here feel more comfortable with a license agreement that opens by 
referring to itself as "non-transferrable" without also mentioning that 
such a restriction doesn't apply in the EU.
