On archival backups...

I don't recall the exact wording, but all archival backups of a copyrited
item (specifically software) must be either included in the sale or transfer
of licence for said software, or they must be destroyed. In other words, once
you sell a package, you lose all right to use of that package, and your once
legal archival backup is now illegal.

This can be modified by any actual software license in force on a given
package, but I've never heard of a licensor giving the right to maintain
archival backups after transfer of ownership or license for the package.

Hope this helps.
