Sell Snow Leopard DVD? Does the license transfer

license

I am selling an old MacBook. The MacBook came with Leopard. I also bought Snow Leopard on DVD. I believe it would be legal for me to sell the MacBook with Snow Leopard installed, provided I included the install media. But now my question:

Can I sell the Snow Leopard DVD separately? Will the license transfer with the media?

I am considering selling the Snow Leopard DVD since (as Apple no longer sell this) I should get a good ebay price.

Does anyone know if this is legal? Are we even allowed to resell licenses / and or OS X Media.

I'd welcome informed opinion on this – preferably with a link to Apple's terms on conditions which make it clear.

From the License Agreement page 2

Transfer. You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense the Apple Software. Subject to the restrictions set forth below, you may, however, make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your license rights to the Apple Software (in its original form as provided by Apple) to another party, provided that: (a) the transfer must include all of the Apple Software, including all its component parts (excluding Apple Boot ROM code and firmware), original media, printed materials and this License; (b) you do not retain any copies of the Apple Software, full or partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; and (c) the party receiving the Apple Software reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this License.

IANAL, but the terms of the licence clearly anticipated your wish to sell.
