Pretty interesting license agreement it was indeed...
"2.1 Ownership. The Software and all modifications or enhancements to,
or derivative works based on the Software, whether created by the Author
or you, and all copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks and other
intellectual property rights protecting or pertaining to any aspect of
the Software or any such modification, enhancement or derivative work
are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Author. This
Agreement does not convey title or ownership to you but instead gives
you only the limited rights set forth in this Agreement."
This "whether created by the Author or you" ... "sole and exclusive
property of the Author" does not sound right to me at all. If I buy this
software and modify it, then I bloody well should own the copyright to
those tweaks, not Ruslan R. Fazliev!
