If you read the terms @http://www.google.com/glass/terms/ Specifically the 'Device Specific Addendum' at the bottom you can see that this restriction only applies to the Explorer Edition. I believe this article may be intentionally omitting this detail to create drama.

If you read the terms, in the non-Device Specific Addendum:

> You may not commercially resell any Device, but you may give the Device as a gift, unless otherwise set forth in the Device Specific Addendum.

So, nope.

> May not commercially resell

Sounds like you can still give / gift / sell / otherwise transfer a glass unit to another individual privately. This all sounds completely normal.

The addendum for the Explorer Edition states: you may not resell, loan, transfer, or give your Device to any other person.

That's what the story is about, because there are no other editions of Glass.

I don't understand this reply. I was replying to the comment, not the story directly. The comment is referring to future editions.

Huh, oops... I wonder how 'commercially resell' is defined in this context. Can it be resold for non commercial purposes? Such as a private resale?

I found the same terminology in the Google Fiber ToS with respect to the Chromebook that comes with the service.

Isn't development hardware is usually licenced as property of the supplier? eg. "A Perth man's house has been raided by police after he allegedly tried to sell a prototype of Microsoft's new Xbox gaming console" http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/perth-gamer-caught-in-c...

After reading about a paragraph I assumed that it would only be fore the initial trail run going on right now.
