In the ever-changing landscape of software licensing, the Usedsoft case against Oracle is renowned for its groundbreaking ruling that has shaped the possibilities and rights surrounding the resale of second-hand licenses. This significant legal battle, which took place in the European Union, addressed the question of whether software licenses can be resold, much like physical goods. The verdict? Yes, they can!
The Usedsoft ruling confirmed that the exhaustion principle applies to software licenses, allowing rightful owners to resell their used licenses to third parties. This groundbreaking decision has had far-reaching consequences, not only for companies seeking to maximize the value of their unused licenses but also for independent license advisors like us.
