You're right, you are no lawyer, but you should know things like this or 
you could get screwed over by someone else.

I'm sorry to have to put it bluntly, but you are wrong.  ID software owns 
ALL rights to anything they make.  They decide how it is sold, who can 
sell it, limits on price (but not forcing high prices, that's not legal), 
EVERYTHING.  That vendor.doc is a legally binding contract between ID and 
their retailers.  If the retailer doesn't comply with ID's wishes, they 
can not sell it.  That is the law. period.
