$20,000 dollars of software or licences on a thumbdrive ?

... or you're doing it so right that $20k isn't worth your time to be bothered over.

Well that statement just means you don’t feel software is worth paying for. But there do exist non-FOSS licensing models that don’t suck. I remember when you could just - gasp! - buy software in a box and it asked, at the most, for a license key to be entered from a card in the box.

Well that was somewhat of an overstatement, of course, for the most part as a reaction to certain ridiculous licensing practices. Some commercial licenses may be okay(ish).

in case NAND chip is readable someone may try to copy contents

Berni:
You can't always backup license carrying thumb drives as they might be locked to the thumb drives serial number.
Tho if you put in enough effort you can probably still spoof the serial. Still not something you can just do by plugging it in a PC and copying stuff over.
