It’s software, so if you own it, you can sell or give away as many copies as you want.

I own a Stephen King novel. I'm looking at it right now. Your contention is that I can sell or give away as many copies as I want of it, and if not, why?

    No. You can sell your one copy of your book you own. It’ll leave your possession when the sale completes. The new owner can sell it.

    Software has different properties. If you own it, you can sell it without losing your copy, so you can keep selling it.
