Is AO by K6STI?
If so, his license agreement pretty much states that you do not own it. I
remember for RITTY it stated something to the effect that you do not own a
copy of the software, he is licensing that you can use it and you alone. I
do not have the license file handy for RITTY but someone could check. This
would mean that someone else does not have the right to 're-sell' it.

Most likely, absolutely nothing unless this guy wrote it with government
money. He doesn't HAVE to sell it to anyone.
It's similar to the people who were complaining that the programming
providers scrambling their content on C-band satellite. If it's private
content, then they don't HAVE to let anyone have access to it. Of course,
they wouldn't stay in business very long if the didn't, but...
