Silly boy. Haven't read EULAs in a while, have you? Here as an example
is a snippet from Microsoft's terms of service:

"When you purchase software, you are actually purchasing a license to
use the software rather than purchasing the software itself."

or, so as not to play favorites, from Apple's EULA:

"The Products transacted through the Service are licensed, not sold,
to You for use only under the terms of this license"
