1What “limited and non-transferable” means here

A limited, non-transferable licence cannot be handed to another company. The limit is on who holds the permission, which starts to matter if the tool is sold or merged.

2Other tools with this reading

No other tool on the register reads this way.

Terms of service change without notice, so the current version on the tool's site governs.

3Why it matters for a book

A licence is permission you give, not ownership you hand over. What changes from tool to tool is how long the permission lasts, whether it can pass to another company, and what the tool may do with a manuscript beyond making your video.
