As far as I've read, this is not true.
Apparently, because of an exploit, currently you get a 30-day License or something, when you buy a game, and after the refund period is over (14 days), this gets replaced by a permanent license.
People have said this is because of jailbroken Playstations, where you could buy a game, extract the license or whatever else, refund the game, but you still have the files you need.
Some comments made it seem like it might just be a temporary fix, until Sony works out something more permanent, but I have no idea.
