Another thing is all your guys who have a Phpfox Lifetime License you want to sell need to start looking at it this way.
1. When you sell your Phpfox Lifetime License that buyser becomes a new PHP Fox client & is not you (the person who bought it from PHP Fox) so in this case PHP Fox or any other company should have the right to change the policy and make the new client go by the new policy.
Why you say all this crap?
When you purchase something with certain CONDITION (in this case LIFETIME support and upgrade)
then you stipulated a contract and this contract can't be breaken.
They can change policy, privacy, license, etc... for NEW customer, but NOT for existing contract!
I don't want be rude, but as you say you are not lawyer so is better that you shut up.
Once you buy a product under particular conditions, they can NOT change it afterwards.
That's breaking a contract and is illegal.
They can change their TOS for new customers but NOT for existing licenses.
Also they must allow selling of software license to EU citizens, highest EU court said.

The software and its license (thus, INCLUDING lifetime free updates and lifetime support) remains the same once you sell it to somebody else.

You MUST allow your customers to sell their licenses to other people.
2. You need to start looking at this from a Developer side & not just your side because how would you feel if you were the one who made PHP Fox and everyone was reselling the Lifetime License they nolonger sell. Everytime this happens they lose 100's of $ so I cant not blame them for not wanting it & this is also why every company no matter who they are or from should have the right to say no to reselling their script/software especialy when it comes to a Lifetime License.
I am a Web Developer, I was a third party developer of phpfox, so I know what I am saying.
When they sold LIFETIME license then they should know that they need to offer LIFETIME support and upgrade. Your talk is seen that protect them and therefore believe that you are of phpFox.
3. All PHP Fox/Moxi9 need to do to put a stop to this is Change the name of PHP Fox to whatever they want & stop supporting PHP Fox this would force everyone to go buy the new policy so when it comes down to it their is allways a way around this anyways.
Yes, ONLY if they change name, but currently the name is still PHPFOX.
