Ack. I just thought of an example of being licensed to distribute but not use.
It's an obvious one! Can you think of it too? OK, think hard...

It's shareware! Most shareware licenses encourage unlimited redistribution but
constrain you from using the sw if you haven't paid the shareware fee.. so I
could EASILY be in the position of having my free trial expire, not having
paid the fee, and hence can't use it. But I still can (in fact, am encouraged
to) distribute it!
Wasn't that obvious?

I agree... Is there a parallel word (to onomapoetic) for that effect?
