I'm not completely against licensing, especially software. I'm against companies licensing buyers away from being able to use what they bought.
So if a license states "You own this as long as you don't make and distribute copies to other users. Also some lingo allowing for reasonable backup copies." 100% good in my opinion.
But a license that states "You paid for it but we can take it away for no good reason, such as a few months of inactivity." BS IMO.
