Depends on jurisdiction. Inside the EU, the EULA is not a valid contract and gives RED no rights to anything.

This is true of any and all "license agreements" that are presented to the user after money has changed hands. You can safely click agree on any such things without actually agreeing to anything.

I don't actually know, but I believe that in the US things are more complex.

Do you have a reference for your claims, inside EU...?

It sounds reasonable to me personally, but not convincing in reality. There are 27 legislations in the EU.

Edit: Based on a quick web search it seems correct for Germany and Austria.
