Hi! I´d like to buy Minecraft at the oficial site https://minecraft.net/store/minecraft , but I can´t find anywhere information regarding how much my original licence for the game will last. Anybody knows if it´s permanent or if it lasts only for a certain time? Will I´ll be able to play the game on the official servers forever? Thank you very much!

It's permanent. However, I don't think there are "official" servers. You will be able to play on servers for as long as people continue to host servers. And even after that you will be able to continue playing single player.

though buying the game doesn't entitle you to all future versions like it used to

CONFUSED

Thank you for your answers, but I´m confused. Really, what is buying the game good for? do you get access to something exclusive buying the game?

Buying the game will give you (legal) access to the full game, which includes multiplayer on non-cracked servers, like ours for example. The license is permanent, but if Mojang ever decides to start charging for updates, you'll have to pay in order to get access to those. This isn't really likely to happen though, so you should be fine.

Also, every server is entirely ran by Minecraft's community, which also causes every server to be different from another.
