Well, he could write a nifty, coffee-making installer and sell
binaries of that. A license for *that* may include that you
need to buy as many as you have boxen you want to use it on.
Installation, that is. People *can* take the source from your
sold CD and install it on other machines. They *cannot*
however *use your commercial installer for doing so*
unless they own the appropriate number of licences.
