Miaghstir: I'm quite sure that was regarding the code for The Witcher 1. "The code" for The Witcher 2 is your CD key/serial number, meaning the GOG copy you redeem would logically be considered the same license as your physical (or digital from elsewhere) copy.
The post you are mentioning was a recent one (today or yesterday), the post I am thinking about was a day after the conference or thereabout. Still, I cannot find it atm, so it is possible that I'm mistaken. Will keep looking, and if I find it will update with a link.

Edit: Ha! Found it.

So retail copy won't be connected in any way with copy on GoG? It is only the same cd key, but two different copies and I can play retail copy even if I lose my GoG account, or I can play my copy from GoG even if I lose my retail copy?

Well there you have it, straight from the horse's mouth.

The two copies are completely separate and independent from each other, my concern wasn't whether it would be possible to give your physical copy to a friend, but whether it would be aagainst the agreement.

The post I linked is for the following case.
You have The Witcher 2 on GOG.com, with cd-key AAAA-AAAA-AAAA-AAAA and a retail copy of The Witcher 2 with cd-key BBBB-BBBB-BBBB-BBBB
Trying to activate the retail copy on your account will obviously fail, since you already have The Witcher 2 on GOG.com. Thus you are able to allow a friend to enter the BBBB-BBBB-BBBB-BBBB key on GOG.com and get The Witcher 2 on GOG.com with the cd-key BBBB-BBBB-BBBB-BBBB.
I think that the cd-key is only used to make an account on , but I may be mistaken. In case this is correct, if you have activated your retail copy on [url=http://www.thewitcher.com]thewitcher.com, your friend won't be able to activate there.

Disclaimer: Still haven't installed The Witcher 2, and I only have a GOG.com copy, so any part of the above may be wrong.

When I first saw this, I thought it was for Witcher 1 EE DC and I was sooooooooo happy :(
I had bought mine at Stardock Impulse, and I haven't liked the change there........I would'a loved to have it from GOG, if I were rich I would just rebuy all my games here. (if you had them all)
Then I saw it was for Witcher 2 (which I haven't got (yet), lucky folks who did...........
