Michael, Of course it's a question of copyright — WP Corp. owns the copyright to the program, as it is their intellectual property. All the software license does is to grant the licensee (you, the customer) the right to use this intellectual property, as governed by the terms of the license. Were the license to be declared invalid, then you'd have NO RIGHTS to the property, not unlicensed rights to the property. Now, I am not a lawyer, so one shouldn't take my word as gospel. However, I do make my living from software, so I do make it a point to try to understand these issues to a certain extent. – BobR
