But you _are_ free to pass around anything you have. The problem arises
when computer software is involved. With software, you don't give it to
someone like you would, say, a car or a book; what you do is give a copy
of it, and this is where the copyright law says "no."

All you have to do is find someone who doesn't want their's anymore.
