If I remember correctly JB you are on Mac, so maybe a better question
would be what happens if you go out of business.

If an architectural firm buys 20 Mac Pros + 20 Thunderbolt Display +
20 copies of AutoCAD LT which currently run at U$899.99 a pop, and
tomorrow that business went bust how much is that U$18,000 software
purchase worth... $0*. Some day, accountants, and individuals are
going to realise that every purchase they make through the App Store
or iTunes (so not just software but music and movies as well) is
instantly worth $0 because Apple allows now way for you to fire sale
your software, music and movies.

* Actually it's worse than that. You don't have to go out of business
all you have to do is change your address - to a new country. There
have been many cases where individuals have moved country only to
discover when they arrive and update their Apple ID info, large
amounts of their App Store/iTunes purchases have disappeared forever.

I don't think Runrev care about where you live, so if you are sleeping
at night with the license agreement you have with Apple I can't see
why you are worried about Runrev's license
