Yep; that's why a lot of software companies moved to using a license
agreement instead. In some localities, though, they treat the license
agreement as nothing more than copyright; I understand in Germany, a
software company cannot impose restrictions on the use of software
(including how you may or may not resell it or whether - IIRC - you can
reverse-engineer it).
