 Computer Arts - Maya 5   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Maya’s connectivity has always been a problem, particularly at the more technical end of the production scale, where a growing tendency to use two or more major packages has highlighted many incompatibility issues.
Fluid effects were introduced with Maya 4.5, giving artists a quick method for generating fluid dynamics, either with large masses in the shape of the Ocean Effects or smaller dynamic bodies in the 2/3D Fluids module.
Maya is also starting to become more consistent, although this is offset by the continued growth of new features.

 Computer Arts - Maya 7   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Maya has a range of renderers; one for hardware, which produces quick results using your graphics card; one for software that’s best for better quality renders; a vector renderer for painterly and illustrative looks; and Mental Ray for any general photorealistic work.
Maya is playing catch-up with its competitors in this area, however, and their solutions have had time for refinement.
Maya’s main disadvantage when compared to its rivals is that it’s always been just a little more techy.

 PolyTrans-for-Maya, Hierarchy Conversion Discussion
In many 3D software packages which originated from the mid-1980's the software would allow objects to be directly connected to other objects, objects to be connected to null nodes, or null nodes to be connected to other null nodes.
Although opaque to users, Maya too only allows null nodes to be connected to other null nodes, and objects only to be connected to null nodes (in comparison with 3ds max and Lightwave which allows objects to be connected to objects).
Maya uses the concept of Shape Nodes connected to Transform Nodes whereas PolyTrans uses the concept of Object Nodes (equivalent to Shape Nodes) connected to Empty Instances (Transform Nodes).

 Forum Thread : Maya software :. GarageGames
If you're selling the software but not transferring the licenses, then you are violating Maya's EULA and giving whoever is unlucky enough to pay for it no legal way of using the software.
The EULA cannot prevent you from selling software that you *own.* That is if you bought the software (not leased, rented, or borrowed) the doctrine of first sale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_sale_doctrine) allows you to resell it.
Problem is that you don't own the software when you are talking about something like Maya (or similar applications like it on the market), you are liscensing the right to use it and that liscense stays with the person or company for the rest of their existance.
