Can Microsoft dictate the terms under which you can use their software?

Some companies only charge for commercial use of their products. So the “it’s free” argument doesn’t really hold water.

Yes. Software companies dictate whether their software has to be run on a dedicate host, the allowed number of cores, etc. all of the time.

Companies have tried to “rent DVDs” digitally by playing the DVD on their hardware and streaming it. It got shot down by the courts.
