Might this change how we view scanner software, and if we are allowed to sell it when we no longer use it?

More likely will impact how SW licenses are written going forward.

Yeah seems the decision is pretty narrow and applies to Autodesk and its particular license. Sounds like a simple sentence stating the license is prepetual but non-transferable and all materials must be returned to the publisher should the licensee chose to terminate the license would solve the problem.
