Does this not create a new opportunity for some sort of “marketplace” to be setup where businesses can sell their old licenses to others looking for previous editions, and then use that to finance their own upgrade?

I’m pretty sure I have an old SQL server 2000 standard license laying around if any one is interested 🙂

(This is just a brain dropping and I do not know what the legal implications are of selling old licenses or even if such a service already exists)
