If you lend (license) your lawnmower to BrucePerens, and receive nothing 
in return, and BrucePerens hires someone else to draw a star on your 
lawnmower, BrucePerens believes he can keep your lawnmower forever 
because he "relied" on your lease and , even though he paid you nothing 
and you never said you would not rescind the license (a default right of 
yours, you being the property owner).
