The same thing you have if you bought a book without a license. Is a 
book useless that way?  How about a CD?

You own it. You can use it however you like that doesn't violate 
existing laws.  (One would think copyright law would be the main one 
you'd be able to violate with software, altho murdering someone by 
bashing them over the head with the box is also probably illegal.)

IANAL.
