The above is probably an appropriate explanation of the license as intended by the licencers. But I'm wondering whether such a licence would actually hold tight when considering patent exhaustion (first sale). Under patent exhaustion, it seems impossible to e.g. sell patented bottle openers but restrict their use to home use, in exclusion to commercial use (e.g. in a restaurant or bar). What is it that would allow such distinctions for cameras but not for bottle openers and the like? Or is it just that nobody yet has brought a case before a court? Just wondering aloud. Regards, Martin.
