Maybe it is not relevant for you anymore, as you say you switched to a dumbphone, but: I really don’t get it why so many people think it’s OK to transfer the license. This is the way for Jolla to earn a small income. No licenses sold - no development and no infrastructure.
On their shop there is a FAQ:
- If I buy a used Xperia device with Sailfish X already installed, can I use it with my own Jolla Account?
You can use the device with Sailfish OS, but without the commercial content requiring a licence. If you want to have the full experience you need to purchase a new licence.
While this is a) no legal text and b) the question doesn’t 100% match the situation of this thread, I think the intention is clear: if you buy a device and want Sailfish X, buy a license.
There may be situations when a person can’t afford a license, but in that case maybe it is not necessary to use the license as an advertisement but make a discreet deal.
