The document discusses different types of software licenses:
1. Based on the mode of contract, licenses can be negotiable (allowing both parties to negotiate terms) or non-negotiable like shrink-wrap licenses and click-wrap licenses.
2. Based on relationships, there are developer-publisher licenses and publisher-distributor licenses.
3. Based on freedom, licenses include proprietary licenses (allowing only use) and free/open source licenses (allowing modification and redistribution).
Current challenges in Software License Management - and solutionsDominic Haigh
Independent software vendors (ISVs) have to deal with many issues in securely protecting their revenues while meeting customers' demands for convenience and flexibility. For example, Internet-based activation works well for both ISVs and their users, but what about users whose systems have no Internet connection, or whose system crashes, or who need to relocate their license, or who want to regularly renew a subscription license or update a usage-based license?
Perhaps product activation will work for the majority of customers, but how do ISVs support enterprise customers who want floating licensing or activation of licenses from a pool?
Securing a license by locking it to hardware parameters of your user's system is a proven approach for copy protection, but what about virtual systems, where hardware parameters can change for legitimate users?
Perhaps an ISV needs to upgrade from an insecure and cumbersome in-house or obsolete commercial licensing tool - how can they smoothly migrate their products and customers to a modern licensing solution, and minimize the development effort required?
This presentation covers these topics and more, and describes practical solutions with case studies of how ISVs are using them today to securely protect their revenues.
This document is a master agreement between Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (Esri) and a customer for Esri products and services. It grants the customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use Esri offerings, including the right to copy documentation for internal use. The customer is authorized to allow consultants or contractors to host and use Esri offerings exclusively for the customer's benefit. All Esri offerings and intellectual property rights are reserved by Esri, except for rights that are expressly granted in the agreement.
This document summarizes mechanics' lien and construction trust fund laws. It discusses how these laws vary by state but generally aim to protect contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers by giving them liens on properties they worked on and making certain project funds held in trust. However, these laws can conflict with secured interests like mortgages and bank accounts. The document examines court cases that have addressed disputes in balancing these competing claims.
Cloud computing provides on-demand access to IT resources and applications via the internet. There are three main types of cloud services - Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Moving to the cloud introduces some legal challenges regarding data privacy and security, governing laws and jurisdiction, and intellectual property rights. When negotiating cloud contracts, users should address issues such as data storage locations, security measures, intellectual property ownership, service level agreements, liability, termination terms, and governing law. Careful contract drafting and negotiation can help mitigate risks and ensure legal requirements are met when using cloud services.
Vikram Hosakote gave a presentation on using the Bullseye code coverage tool to generate code coverage numbers in Cisco NXOS. Bullseye is used to capture coverage of C and C++ code and provide a ratio of tested vs total lines of code. The presentation covered building a Bullseye NXOS image, running tests to generate coverage files, processing the files on a Linux server, and viewing coverage reports in Bullseye's GUI or merged across devices. Automation ideas and integration with eARMS testing were also discussed.
Anonymous functions allow functions to be defined and called without a name. JavaScript functions are first-class objects that can be treated like any other object. This allows functions to be defined anonymously and immediately called by wrapping the function definition in parentheses and adding another set of parentheses to call it. For example, (function(){ return "Hello World"; })(); defines and immediately calls an anonymous function without needing to assign it a name.

MATLAB's anonymous functions provide an easy way to specify a function. An anonymous function is a function defined without using a separate function file. It is a MATLAB feature that lets you define a mathematical expression of one or more inputs and either assign that expression to a function. This method is good for relatively simple functions that will not be used that often and that can be written in a single expression.
The inline command lets you create a function of any number of variables by giving a string containing the function followed by a series of strings denoting the order of the input variables. It is similar to an Anonymous Function
Code coverage analysis can be performed using either block-based or line-based methods. Block-based analysis shows the percentage of blocks covered and not covered, while line-based analysis provides more granular metrics like the number of lines covered, not covered, and partially covered, as well as the percentage of lines within each category. The code coverage analysis window can display code coloring to identify lines that are fully, partially, or not at all covered by a test method, and additional columns can be added to view line-based coverage details.
Code coverage is a measure of how much of the source code of a program is tested by a test suite. It helps ensure quality by enabling early detection of flaws. Common types of code coverage include statement, function, path, condition, and branch coverage. Tools like Cobertura, Clover, and Emma can help measure and analyze code coverage. Aim for 70-80% test coverage but 100% is not always cost effective or possible. Code coverage should be implemented from the start of development.

Buffer overflows occur when a program writes more data to a buffer than it is configured to hold. This can overwrite adjacent memory and compromise the program. Common types of buffer overflows include stack overflows, heap overflows, and format string vulnerabilities. Buffer overflows have been exploited by major computer worms to spread, including the Morris worm in 1988 and the SQL Slammer worm in 2003. Techniques like canaries can help detect buffer overflows by placing check values between buffers and control data. Programming best practices like bounds checking and safe string functions can prevent buffer overflows.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Software License An Introduction By Vishnu Kesarwani

Indian Institute of Information Technology‐Allahabad
Note: This article has been published in B’cognizance, an e‐magazine of IIIT‐Allahabad, in
two parts available from:
Part‐1: http://bcognizance.iiita.ac.in/Apr‐Jun09/index_files/Page5916.htm
Part‐2: http://bcognizance.iiita.ac.in/Jul‐Sep09/technova_part_2.html
Moving towards the click world the concept of software piracy has shaken the IT world and
has emerged the need of software licensing to protect the originality and the right of
owner. This article is an effort to bring forth the concept of what software licensing is and
to develop an understanding to various types of software license.
A software license is a legally recognized agreement that governs the usage or
redistribution of copyright protected software between the license issuer (software
publisher) and the license receiver (end user). Sometimes it is also referred as the End User
License Agreement (EULA). Through this some restrictions are placed on the end user in
relation to the software. Restrictions can include installation of software more than the
license given to user, duplication and modification of software, editing the code, reverse
engineering etc.
This legal instrument can be on paper but it is most often imbedded in the software itself as
part of the installation process. If the user does not agree to the terms and conditions of the
software license, (S)he can click on “Disagree” or “No” button and come back from
installation process.
Software License and Copyright
The copyright concerns with protecting the human intellect and provides an exclusive right
to the owner of the work. Copyright provides the owner of software to reproduce the work,
to issue copies of the work to public, to sell or give on hire the software, to do any
derivative work, to modify the software and so on. Copyright owner can give these rights to
any other person through assignment or license and can take any consideration from that
person. The copyright holder can give the assignment or license for a certain period of time,

2. Software License: An Introduction
or for a particular country, region or throughout the world. Through these copyright holder
protects his right and makes profit and also provides benefit to the world through his work.
Thus software license is one of the mean through which the owner’s right gets protection
and copyright enhanced the boundary of such intellectual property.
Types of Software License
Every software contains a license agreement and license agreement contains various terms
and conditions as per the legal requirements of the concerned country. But software
license can be classified into following three categories:
1. Based on the mode of contract
We can categorize the software license based on its mode to enter into a contract. We
can enter into a contract in two ways:
1.1. Negotiable
It is a traditional form of contract in which one party offers the other party for a
contract to sell or buy software and other party accept this offer and
communication it to the first party and thus, both parties make a free consent to
enter into the contract for a valid consideration. In this mode of contract, both
parties have the same possibility to negotiate for the terms and conditions and
consideration of the contract. Thus, both parties come into a valid contract.
1.2. Nonnegotiable
Non‐negotiable contract is also known as Standard Form of Contract in which a
dominant party sales their goods or services on a predefined terms and conditions
and consideration. Software companies cannot negotiate to each end‐user of their
software. So, they launch their software for sell into the market on predefined
terms and conditions and a consideration and the end‐user bind to buy the
software on the said terms and conditions and price. There are its two categories:
1.2.1. Shrinkwrap License
Shrink‐wrap license is a software license in which license agreement in
printed on or enclose within the software package and shrink‐wrapped with
a transparent plastic that is accessible when the customer purchases it. The
terms of license agreement are printed on a paper included inside the plastic
sealed box of the software package. When the end‐user breaks the plastic
seal which is tightly fits the software, it regards that (s)he has given his or
her consent to the licensing terms and conditions.
Written by: Vishnu Kesarwani Page 2
3. Software License: An Introduction
The lawfulness of shrink‐wrap license is unclear. In ProCD v. Zeidenbergi, the
court held that “shrink‐wrap licenses are enforceable unless their terms are
objectionable on grounds applicable to contracts in general (for example, if
they violate a rule of positive law, or if they are unconscionable).” But this
case does not solve many questions regarding shrink‐wrap license. It is
submitted that the court erred in three significant respects:ii
(a) It failed to make the requirement of notice as a precondition to enforce
the contract;
(b) It didn’t to take into account the intangible nature of the subject matter of
the case; and
(c) It may have given excessive control to the manufacturer of software.
In another case, Klocek v. Gateway, Inc.iii, the court decided that shrink‐wrap
licenses are unenforceable. But in Brower v. Gateway 2000, Inc.iv the court
found that a shrink‐wrap contract formed when the plaintiffs retained the
software form longer than the 30 day “approve or return” period. But certain
contract terms relating to the arbitration provision at issue were not
enforceable.
1.2.2. Clickwrap License
Click‐wrap license is, basically, internet based agreement which requires the
consent of the party by the way of clicking the button “I accept”, “I agree” or
“OK” on the predefined terms and conditions. This can be found during
installation of any software downloaded from the Internet.
The terms and conditions of license or service don’t always appear on the
same window or webpage but these are always accessible to the end‐user
before acceptance, such as through scroll bar end‐user can access the whole
terms and condition during the installation of software or through clicking on
the hyperlink dedicated to terms and conditions embedded in the webpage of
the software. If the end‐user wants to reject these, (s)he can click on “Cancel”
button.
It is notable that though courts have held that click‐wrap licenses are
enforceable but every terms and conditions of click‐wrap license is not
enforceable. It must meet the enforceability criteria of contract law.

4. Software License: An Introduction
2. Based on the relationship between the parties
Another type of software license is based on the relationship between the parties. This
type includes following licenses:
2.1 DeveloperPublisher License Agreement
This license agreement has been done between the developer and publisher of the
software. For this license, negotiation between them is very important. The terms
and conditions of this license include clauses of royalty, geographical scope and
further development of software.
2.2 PublisherDistributor License Agreement
As above, this license agreement has been done between the publisher and
distributor of the software. The terms and conditions include the clauses for
distribution of the software in domestic country and foreign country or may also
include a region. Mostly parties put this clause for maximizing the profit and market
penetration. License may provide exclusive right to distributor regarding the
software.
3. Based on freedom
This categorization grants the end‐user freedom regarding the software that includes
right to use, modify, redistribute, improve the software, right to do reverse engineering
on the software and others rights also.
3.1. Proprietary Software License
Proprietary software is a type of software in which end‐user has the right to use it
only and has not been gotten source code of the software. So the end‐user has no
right to read, modify and redistribute its source code. Thus computer software
remains one’s legal property and one has all rights regarding the software. Due to
this reason, it can also be called as closedsource software. It usually can be
distributed for a fee or at no cost. In proprietary software license, license issuer
grants a license to end user to use one or more copies of software, but the
ownership of those said copies remains with the copyright holder of that software.
Consequently, all rights regarding the software are reserved to the copyright
holder and only limited but well defined rights regarding the software are provided
to the end‐user.
Written by: Vishnu Kesarwani Page 4
5. Software License: An Introduction
3.2 Free Software License and Open Source Software License
Free Software License
A free software license is a license for software in which end‐user gets more
freedom than the proprietary software. This freedom includes the right to use,
modify, and redistribute the software and so on that end‐user cannot get under
copyright law. Thus “Free software” is the matter of freedom instead of price.
Free Software Foundation defines the “Free Software” as:
“Free software is a matter of the users' freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change
and improve the software. More precisely, it refers to four kinds of freedom, for the
users of the software:
• The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0)
• The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom
1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
• The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2)
• The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements (and
modified versions in general) to the public, so that the whole community benefits
(freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.”v
If any software provides above freedom to the end user, that software comes into
the regime of free software.
Open Source Software License
Open Source Initiative (OSI) is an organization that promotes the open source
movement. This organization manages and promotes the Open Source Definition
(OSD) and it certification mark for open source products and licenses.
Open source software license is based on the thought that if the users including
programmers can read, modify and redistribute the source code of software,
software shall develop. Users of software will also help to improve the software and
try to fix bugs in it.
According to OSD, the distribution terms of open source software must comply with
the following criteria:
1. “The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the
software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing
Written by: Vishnu Kesarwani Page 5
6. Software License: An Introduction
programs from several different sources.
2. The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source
code as well as compiled form.
3. The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them
to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software.
4. Integrity of the Author's Source Code must be maintained.
5. The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons.
6. The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a
specific field of endeavor.
7. The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom the program is
redistributed without the need for execution of an additional license by those
parties.
8. License must not be specific to a product.
9. The license must not place restrictions on other software that is distributed
along with the licensed software.
10. No provision of the license may be predicated on any individual technology or
style of interface.” vi
Categories of Free/Open Source Software License
A. Copyleft
Traditionally, in proprietary software copyright holder has all exclusive right
regarding the software and says “copyright, all right reserved”. Whereas, Copyleft is
a general method for making a program or other work free, and requiring all
modified and extended versions of the program to be free as well.vii Copyleft license
provides more freedom than copyrighted work. Through copyleft license, author of
the software gives the end‐user who receives the copy of a software permission to
modify, redistribute, derivate the work, reverse engineering and other rights as long
as any resulting copies or derivative work are also bound by the same copyleft
licensing scheme. GNU GPL (General Public License) is the example of copyleft
license.
This is a scheme of copyright licensing in which author of the work surrenders his
rights but not all. It is also different from the works in Public Domain in which there
is no copyright restriction in the work. Under copyleft, there are only some
restrictions such as any modified or derivative work will also follow the copyleft
scheme. The author, who makes their software free, simply can disclaim their rights
as a copyright holder. This will help the author to protect their work being
privatized and closed again. Thus copyleft license says “copyleft, all right reserved”.
Written by: Vishnu Kesarwani Page 6
7. Software License: An Introduction
B. Permissive Free Software License
The permissive free software license is a type of free software license for a copyright
protected work. This license provides more freedom than freedom provided by
copyleft license. It is close to a public domain work because it offers many of the
same freedoms as a work released in public domain. It grants the end‐user
permission to do anything with the source code which they wish. The permissive
license goes one step more and grants the end‐user the right to take the code and
use it as a part of proprietary software. The examples of permissive software license
are BSD license and MIT license.
Thus, above are certain types of software license. These are being seen different but some
time software can be issued one or more licensing terms that is called multiple licensing.
Example of this license is MySQL that is issued in both GNU General Public License and
commercial license. Above three category of the software license are also interrelated to
one another.
Conclusion
On the basis of above discussion, we can say that there is the license provision exists for
software. But the ultimate objective of the license is to protect the right of the owner and to
impose certain liabilities on the end user. The owner cannot go beyond the written
agreement and end‐user cannot violate the terms and conditions of license.
