Many valid ways to say the same thing - all of it common sense... Anyone who tries to explain it as another way, include donating things... is only sorry to say, trying to avoid paying for something. It's easy to give away other people's property but not your own... [:)]

Here's another way to look at it: you are buying a license to use the new version of the recorded work when you update to the latest version. The previous version is still the recorded works you licensed; you're not just giving someone the discs, you're still giving away the recorded work if you donate it to a school. Or a friend.
