I know about the Borland no-nonsense license statement from
a compiler package I bought (a while ago ;-) ).
Fully agreeing with the book comparability fairness I referenced the book
analogy here.
Also it is a *statement*, you do not have to agree explicitly. Just abide the
copyright law.
All hail "keep it simple"

But my question was, why no longer used ?
Should it be explictly in copyright law, that usage is granted when a copy is
legaly aqcuired ?

Once I read a problem with programs was they were copied into the computer, but
I think that is a false argument because when I read a book I transfer to short
term memory and to longterm memory and what have you neuron wise. Computer
analog transistor/magneto/capacitor memory.
That is ordinary intended usage, not distributing.

Maybe I misunderstand, but the whole copy right intention was about regulating
distribution. Not usage of the copy.
Being right or wrong here ?

And yes, for distribution ( of even modified version ) the phenomenon of
licensing would be in the right place. ( for instance GPL. )
