Software Found In Boxes In Dumpster

[Nix]

So I went to a local chain store (Harvey Norman) to get some old boxes for putting vegitation in for our monthly council collection.

I asked the guy at the loading dock if I could take some flattened boxes from the huge dumpster and he said "help yourself to whatever you want".

I loaded the car up and spotted two HP Flat Panel Monitor boxes that were open but not flattened.

Picked one up and found a FP Monitor Software and Documentation CD in it.

So I took it.

Then I spotted a second FPM box an it contained the same CD, so I took it too.

I then spotted an HP box that looked about the size of a desktop so I had a look an it contained Windows Vista Home Premium...................manual.

So the question is, who legally owns the software I found, since it got thrown into a dumpster and the guy I asked about boxes said "help yourself".

I might try and sell the software on eBay for a couple of $$.

A copy of Vista would have been worth a bit more I'm sure than the FP software.
