Nothing that mslama can deal with. the text we have now is correct. It has been reviewed and approved by our lawyers. Created attachment 26118 [details]
Licenses as defined on 9/22
See attached licenses.zip. Specifically LICENSE/NB/LICENSE.TXT. Compare that with the text in the popup license text in the NetBeans 5.0. They are different. The former mentions the Sun Public License. The text in the product does not. Tim, now I really don't see what you're talking about. The license text of my current trunk build starts with: -----------------------------%<----------------------------- NetBeans software is developed and distributed under the Sun Public License (SPL). NetBeans software also makes use of additional libraries made available for use and distribution by other parties, including open-source projects. -----------------------------%<----------------------------- I don't understand what you mean by "The text in the product does not" (mention SPL). If so, then great, it's fixed. In my working build (10/1/05), the license text begins: "Sun Microsystems, Inc. ("Sun") SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT and ENTITLEMENT for SOFTWARE A. ENTITLEMENT for SOFTWARE Licensee/Company: Entity receiving Software. Effective Date: Date of delivery of the Software to You. Software: NetBeans IDE 5.0 License Term: Perpetual (subject to termination under the SLA) Licensed Unit: Software Copy Licensed unit Count: Unlimited Permitted Uses: 1. You may use the Software for Research and Instructional, Individual, and Commercial Uses for the purposes of designing, developing, testing, and running your applets or applications ("Programs") provided that..." I see that it is correct in the beta installer; if you say it's been fixed in the product as well, then great, it's been taken care of. |
