I tend to agree with the concept if you cannot reverse engineer the code or duplicate it. I think licensing has its place for products that can't be packaged. I do websites for a living and apart from a few standard server side things all the code is pretty much laid out on the table, so you can copy and paste and duplicate to your heart content. I have had problems in the past. That's not right when you sell a one of then it gets copied over and over and re-dristibuted without your consent. That's a slap in the face IMHO.
