That just sounds like generic copy-paste from EVE. We don't have licensees for Dust, but EVE accounts do.
All software has a license unless it is in the public domain. It's just that the license for DUST is free.

I mean its open to interpretation till it gets clarified, but reading the whole must license for each account thing... idk why need to license a game to each individual account for a free game, makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up, they gonna make us pay?
Or is it a licensing issue with public gaming locations, like the old computer cafes. Not a huge problem in the us but maybe over seas?
Don't read too much in to it. Software licenses have to specify the number of users/accounts/whatever they are licensing. CCP just went the safe route and picked one to prevent any sort of shenanigans.
I'm only guessing of course but I don't think CCP is going to try and enforce this and is just done to dot the i's and cross the t's.

Here you go:
EULA wrote:
Upon establishing a valid Account, and subject to your continued compliance with the EULA, CCP grants you a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to access the System, and to access and use the Game Content, User Content and EVE User Content (each as defined below), in order to play DUST 514. You may download and exchange Game Content, User Content and EVE User Content exclusively via a valid Account, solely to play the Game, for purposes permitted by, and in a manner consistent with, the EULA. Additionally and to the extent permitted by the System, you may make a single copy for your own purposes in playing the Game.
It said one account per license, not one account per system.

And you get a licence by creating an account if I'm reading it right. Isn't that kind of circular?
When you create an account you get a license that allows one account to play the game. Makes perfect sense.

I know the law, I know my rights, and I know that I don't have to read a bunch of crap some douchebag lawyer wrote up for a video game contract. Well, it seems like at some point you didn't know the law too well or you wouldn't have been locked up now would you? Either that or you knew the law and still broke it then got caught. Now, I wonder which one of us is the more intelligent...... Altina McAlterson wrote:Teilka Darkmist wrote:

When you create an account you get a license that allows one account to play the game. Makes perfect sense. The circular part is you get a licence by making an account and you can only have one account per licence. I didn't say it didn't make sense, just that it was circular.
Yea, it is. But you have to get the license somehow and that's the best way. Otherwise you'd have to contact CCP everytime and screw that noise.
Contracts and legal nonsense are inherently silly anyway.
