That is why I will have a lawyer draw up the licence.

I know of several used book stores that were taken to court, for
selling books that were marked "This book is not to be sold".  I also
know of a store that sold used CDs that was taken to court for selling
promotional CDs that were given to radio stations and "celebrity" DJs.

With the restrictions on the licence I want, that will be a licence
violation, and grounds for civil prosecution.
