Cisco Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4.2 Licensing Information

"Can I use your software     

in a freeware product? "     

Sure.     

"Can I use your software     

in a commercial product?     

Do I have to pay you? "     

Yes you can, and no you don't have to, although we certainly won't object to any checks you     

care to send our way.     

"If I use your software as     

part of my product, do I     

have to include your     

source code? Or my source     

code?" "     

No. You're thinking of the Gnu license. Our license just says that if you distribute our source     

code then you must leave in the license text; but you are free to use it in binary-only form if     

you like, and put the license text in your documentation instead.     

"Can I make my own version     

of your software? "     

Of course.     

"Can I distribute my own     

version of your software? "     

Yes, although unless it's just a repackaging we'd prefer that you didn't. Having multiple     

versions of the same thing floating around is inherently distasteful. If you absolutely must     

distribute your own modified version of our software, please name it something else to avoid     

confusing people.     

"Would you please send me     

a signed disclaimer, so     

my company's lawyers are     

happy? "     

No. The license in the source code is sufficient.     

"We don't want to put     

your license in our     

documentation or     

distribute your source,     

can we use your software     

anyway? "     

We occasionally grant special permission for this sort of thing. A donation to ACME Labs will     

probably improve the chances.
