This information is taken directly from the court opinion. It is not taken out of context nor is it altered.

Novell, Inc. v. Network Trade Ctr., Inc., 25 F. Supp. 2d 1218 (D. Utah 1997). where the court stated:

This Court holds that transactions making up the distribution chain from Novell through NTC to the end-user are ''sales'' governed by the U.C.C. Therefore, the first sale doctrine applies. It follows that the purchaser is an ''owner'' by way of sale and is entitled to the use and enjoyment of the software with the same rights as exist in the purchase of any other good. Said software transactions do not merely constitute the sale of a license to use the software. The shrinkwrap license included with the software is therefore invalid as against such a purchaser insofar as it purports to maintain title to the software in the copyright owner.
