That’s not how giving stuff away works. If something is given away, it is entirely up to the recipient to decide what happens to it. Even if I, for example, gave a nice couch to a family that had lost their home in a flood, it is now theirs free and clear to keep, sell, set on fire, whatever. It would be unethical for …
