I'm confusing nothing, stupid dak. Man oh man. *DAK* Indus., retard
dak. Can *you* grok the meaning of "software units" and "transferred
20,000 copies in the single tangible copy"?
I wrote (starting with softman-v-adobe snippet referring to DAK case
followed by stuff from Nimmer about DAK case):
[...] The court found that the agreement was best characterized as a
lump sum sale of software units to DAK

Similarly, a software vendor may contractually allow use by a single
user of a copy of "Windows NT" and, in a separate transaction, deliver a
copy of "Windows NT" under a license allowing the licensee to use the
software in a 10,000 site network or allowing it to make 20,000
additional copies for commercial distribution. In the latter case, the
provider, in effect, transferred 20,000 copies in the single tangible
copy.21 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Cir. 1995) (concluding that a distribution agreement involving a lump
sum payment and delivery of a master disk is more like a sale of the
right to make the stated number of copies
