I think the points about GOG being DRM free and selling you the game (not just a license) need to be made as often as possible.

I am going to try to look there first from now on because of this.

Just because there is no DRM on GOG doesn't mean that the games aren't just licensed. Copyright law doesn't get magically circumvented. You aren't allowed to sell the GOG downloads. All GOG allows you to do is to make backups of the games you licensed.
