What if an individual (or company) incorporated a separate business in
order to purchase PowerAnimator?  The sole assets of the corporation
could be PowerAnimator.  By "hiring" the corporation, the individual (or
company) would then have full use of PowerAnimator as a service of the
separate corporation.  To transfer the license one would only have to
sell the corporation.  Since incorporation gives a business a legal
status independent of owner, the corporation (and in turn whatever
individual or body owned it) would control that corporation's assets
(PowerAnimator, in this case).  Such a scheme might also allow a wider
variety of financing schemes, but I'm less certain of that.

Is there a flaw in this that I'm missing?  I can't see any grounds for
Alias to objec (well, at least not legal grounds <g>).  Has anyone tried
anything like this?
