Empty agreement, can I use it for commercial purposes?

Question

Copyright

Good time gentlemen. If the license agreement does not specify the terms of use, for commercial non-commercial, etc. Can it be used for profit?
For example, the author wrote in the agreement - "The one who installs this software is a radish !!!" and nothing more. I will install this software myself in the company, since he did not indicate anything, everything seems to be fine. But such agreements cannot be considered valid. And since it is not valid, it means that there was no transfer of rights. So its use is not legal, because the agreement "You are a radish" is not valid ...
Help me figure it out, I'm confused.

Answer 1

Under Russian copyright law, any rights to use the Software that are not expressly granted to you by law or a license agreement (agreement) are not given to you at all.

Answer 2

The license agreement is not the only title document in the matter of licensing. There is the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, chapter 70 "Copyright" , it is worth studying ...

Answer 3

If you do not have a license with a specific list of rights assigned to you, then the use of this software will be an infringement of intellectual property rights with appropriate liability.
What you are talking about is a "Box License", it is valid and gives you the rights that are specified in it. If this license is empty, then you have no rights.

Answer 4

Sorry, gentlemen and gentlemen, but I'm too lazy to write something further ...
The answer is short:

If the license agreement does not specify the terms of use, for commercial non-commercial, etc.

- use as you wish. All disputes are resolved in court. Courts are not frequent with such cases.

But such agreements cannot be considered valid.

- can.

... otherwise suddenly someone will write again that it says here what is impossible ....
Exceptions to the rules (you can when it seems like it’s impossible):
