Actually, what I was doing was selling old CDs to buy new ones; not "cherry picking" - but I did list them individually. I don't recall the license agreement mentioning a difference between "sets" and individual discs. I do remember it explicitly forbid reselling - period. No exception for reselling the entire set. If I can still find it, I'll check again - but I probably tossed it in disgust...
Unless there is a completely different agreement that ships with the single CDs(since I've never bought an single - I wouldn't know), they're just enforcing it differently.
Of course I haven't read it in over a year since this all transpired. Funny thing is, the license agreement cannot be found on Navteq's web site(at least at that time). You only see the agreement when you receive the discs. It's been close to three years since I last ordered from them, so all this may have changed...
