- Earlier in this discussion I mentioned a coworker who was dissatisfied
- with the USL licensing agreement. I have that agreement in hand now.
-
- Though explicitly purchased for a UNIX Sun Sparc2, the USL grants us
- "a non-exclusive license to use one copy of the enclosed SOFTWARE...
- solely in the USA...on a single user computer..." I may "distribute
- software programs containing runtime copies of the object code...
- provided I do not reproduce or distribute SOFTWARE header files...and
- ...such distribution is accomplished pursuant to a binding written end user
- agreement" (such as shrink wrap).
-
- This license renders the USL components library useless for our work.
- This is unfortunate since the USL product has a lot going for it.
- The rest of the agreement in essence says, "Don't steal our software,"
- which I have no problem with. I just wish their lawyers hadn't
- gone overboard.
-
- Does anyone have a copy of the RogueWave license agreement?
-
- me
