And contu6 elaborates: The sale of a copy of a program by a rightful
possessor to another must be of all rights in the program, thus
creating a new rightful possessor and destroying that status as regards
the seller. This is in accord with the intent of that portion of the
law which provides that owners of authorized copies of a copyrighted
work may sell those copies without leave of the copyright proprietor.50
50 17 U.S.C. ยง 109(a).

And contu6 elaborates: translations, transformations, and adaptations
... conversion of a program from one higher-level language to another
to facilitate use would fall within this right.
But object code is not a result of conversion of a program from one
higher-level language to another [higher-level language]. It's just
another representation of the same program. Source code and object
code are "two representations of the same computer program. For
registration purposes, the claim is in the computer program rather
than in any particular representation of the program." I suppose
that for 117 purposes it is the same as for registration purposes.
No?
