Another way of saying the same thing. Anyway, I doubt the issue would ever arise in the course of real life; probably rears its head only when it's a matter of being cautious with hypotheticals. Or so one hopes.

Eric Persing explained this at one point. Basically, it was something to the effect of this. A sample library is not an instrument. It is a series of sound recordings that he (the developer) owns. When you buy it, he is granting you the limited right to use said sound recordings in your own sound recordings. You don't really OWN the intellectual property here, you're just being allowed to use it for select purposes.

More importantly, no sample developer has anything even close to a monopoly. If you don't like a particular license then you don't have to buy that product. You can always buy a different one.
