A couple of things:
Regarding reselling Autodesk software, it seems like the result of the Vernor case is that Autodesk CAN prohibit someone from reselling their software.
Also, be aware that if you don't already own a (commercial?) license of Softimage, you only have until March 27 (8 days from today!) to buy them. This is your last chance. After that, only people who already own a Softimage license will be able to buy more. From the transition FAQ:
7. Can I purchase new seats of Softimage?
As of March 28, 2014 only existing Softimage customers will be able to purchase new or additional seats of Softimage by purchasing either the Maya with Softimage or 3ds Max with Softimage transition offerings. These transition offerings will be available for purchase at the cost of $3,675 US SRP* for the duration of the transition period(approximately two years (see question 5)). These transition offerings will also be available as rental plans for purchase at the cost of $575 US SRP quarterly, or $1,840 US SRP annually. After the two year transition period customers will no longer be able to purchase or rent new Softimage licenses from Autodesk.
