Yes, it's called an "end user agreement".

how to make software
Generally the licensing terms that companies that will present you will have you agree that you will not make copies or modify said copies without the express permission of the copyright holder(s), under a general copyright rule. However, it will be a different case if you choose to work with software that are released under the GPL or other open-source licenses.
The software licence... allows you to use the software for the purpose it was designed to be used. It also allows you to make a single back-up copy in case you lose the original. It does NOT allow you to make multiple copies - or distribute said copies whether for free or paid.
Replication software is a type of backup software that some businesses use to make copies of their files in case they get lost or erased. You can find it at www.DoubleTake.com.
The parties can make changes if they agree to it. Most include the method of changing.
It gives you the legal right to use the software for the purpose it was designed for. It does not give you the right to make a copy/copies for someone else to use.
No. You are "licensing" it. You "own" a license to use the software, and you can sell your license to someone else. But you cannot legally make copies of the software and sell it to others. Nor can you reverse-engineer it or disassemble it.
That would depend on the license agreement, but the typical license allows the person who buys the software to make a backup copy. Most vendors will, in fact,supply free back up copies to registered owners of their software. I would hesitate a long time before paying for software which did not allow me to make backups and did offer free replacements upon request.
Ask for copies of the contract and make sure someone else didn't sign for them. Not your copy but what they have on file. Without real signatures the contract is void.

Could be an indirect democracy with a social contract theory.
