Creating a docker image with preinstalled MakeMKV: allowed?

Hi,

I want to create a docker image which has MakeMKV preinstalled.

Is it allowed ?

If not: can I create a docker image with MakeMKV preinstalled which only will run if user accepts your license at first start ?

Thanks in advance,

zwiebelchen

Will you be buying licenses for each install?


Do you realise old copies of MakeMKV without a valid key will disable themselves?


It could only work if:
1: you bought a key for each 'user'
2: you automatically downloaded the latest version and installed that rather than including it on the disc

As far as I'm aware...

Technically, yes.

This is the right way to do it, but EULA allows you to bypass license confirmation step. You still have to include the license though.

However, as mentioned before, MakeMKV becomes obsolete very quickly - protections evolve, plus MakeMKV itself expires in 60 days if not registered. I can't think of any scenario when having a re-packaged binary distribution of MakeMKV would have any benefits.

I don't think the developer of this program would come here of his own volition and say he has this permission if it was not granted. Let have a yes or no.
