	Software license - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A software license is a legal agreement which may take the form of a proprietary or gratuitous license as well as a memorandum of contract between a producer and a user of computer software.
		If the software license is between the software owner (licensor or producer) and a business or government entity, it should be regarded as a specialized form of contract with many terms (clauses) unique to the license and the nature of the software being licensed.
		However, a growing number of such licenses are using a loophole in 117 that exploits a distinction between the "owner" of a copy and one who merely "possesses" a copy by purporting to create a rental agreement in which the publisher of the software retains ownership of the medium on which the software is shipped.

	Free software licenses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Free software is software which grants recipients the freedom to modify and redistribute the software.
		Put another way, a free software license is a license which grants permissions to the recipient to remove any ownership issues which would otherwise prevent the software from being free software.
		The list distinguishes between free software licenses that are compatible or incompatible with the FSF license of choice, the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license.

	Software license - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		A software license is a type of proprietary or gratuitous license as well as a memorandum of contract between a producer and a user of computer software — sometimes called an End User License Agreement (EULA) — that specifies the perimeters of the permission granted by the owner to the user.
		Software licenses are primarily written to deal with issues of copyright law and product liability law.
		Software licenses generally fall into two categories, proprietary software licenses and free software licenses, depending on the purpose of the license.

	The Free Software Definition - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
		It is also acceptable for the license to require that, if you have distributed a modified version and a previous developer asks for a copy of it, you must send one, or that you identify yourself on your modifications.
		Software developers do not have the power to eliminate or override these restrictions, but what they can and must do is refuse to impose them as conditions of use of the program.
		To decide whether a specific software license qualifies as a free software license, we judge it based on these criteria to determine whether it fits their spirit as well as the precise words.

		Software licensing exempts software publishers from all liability under consumer protection law.
		This licensing thing is a costly mess, but there is an alternative, a way out, and it is practical for a great many businesses.
		Other software companies now contribute to the BSA for their own protection (early BSA raids tended to leave behind an "all Microsoft" shop regardless of who's software was originally infringed), but it operates essentially as Microsoft's private police force.

	Boost Software License Background (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		The Boost Software License specifies the terms and conditions of use for those Boost libraries that it covers.
		For instance, many of the [original] licenses for the libraries available on boost.org do not disclaim the warranty of title, meaning that the authors could, arguably, be sued by a user if the code infringes the rights of a third party and the user is sued by that third party.
		This license grants all rights under the owner's copyrights (as well as an implied patent license), disclaims all liability for use of the code (including intellectual property infringement liability), and requires that all subsequent copies of the code [except machine-executable object code], including partial copies and derivative works, include the license.

		If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
		Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
