Other states have enacted “bomb-shelter” legislation, which prevents licenses agreements from applying the law of those states that have enacted the UCITA, even in transactions where no party is located in a UCITA state. UCITA governs ownership of the copies of software licenses. Generally, the terms of the license agreement governs (1) the ownership of title to a copy of the software and (2) the licensee’s right to possession and control of the copy.
Of course state law must be considered, however, generally computer software is considered to fall within the definition of "goods" for UCC purposes.

Haha, that sounds like technical lawyer stuff. I don't have Dinan's software so I'm not really interested. Maybe you could explain to the OP how all that "UCITA-goods-license-bombshelter" language applies to his situation.
I'll stand on the sidelines as you procede to explain technical.
