II. GRANT OF RIGHTS

2.01 AT&T grants to LICENSEE a personal, nontransferable and nonexclusive right to use in the United States each SOFTWARE PRODUCT identified in the one or more Supplements hereto, solely for LICENSEE'S own internal business purposes and solely on or in conjunction with DESIGNATED CPUs for such SOFTWARE PRODUCT. Such right to use includes the right to modify such SOFTWARE PRODUCT and to prepare derivative works based on such SOFTWARE PRODUCT, provided the resulting materials are treated hereunder as part of the original SOFTWARE PRODUCT.

2.02 A single back-up CPU may be used as a substitute for a DESIGNATED CPU without notice to AT&T during any time when such DESIGNATED CPU is inoperative because it is malfunctioning or undergoing repair, maintenance or other modification.

2.03 LICENSEE may at any time notify AT&T in writing of any changes, such as replacements or additions, that LICENSEE wishes to make to the DESIGNATED CPUs for a specific SOFTWARE PRODUCT. AT&T will prepare additional Supplements as required to cover such changes. Changes covered by a Supplement shall become effective after execution of such Supplement by LICENSEE, acceptance thereof by AT&T and, in the case of each additional CPU, receipt by AT&T of the appropriate fee.

2.04 On AT&T's request, but not more frequently than annually, LICENSEE shall furnish to AT&T a statement, certified by an authorized representative of LICENSEE, listing the location, type and serial number of all DESIGNATED CPUs hereunder and stating that the use by LICENSEE of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS subject to this Agreement has been reviewed and that each such SOFTWARE PRODUCT is being used solely on DESIGNATED CPUs (or temporarily on back-up CPUs) for such SOFTWARE PRODUCTS pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

2.05 No right is granted by this Agreement for the use of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS directly for others, or for any use of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS by others.

III. DELIVERY

3.01 Within a reasonable time after AT&T receives the fee specified in the first Supplement for a SOFTWARE PRODUCT, AT&T will furnish to LICENSEE one (1) copy of such SOFTWARE PRODUCT in the form identified in the Schedule for such SOFTWARE PRODUCT.

3.02 Additional copies of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS covered by this Agreement will be furnished to LICENSEE after receipt by AT&T of the then-current distribution fee for each such copy.

IV. EXPORT

V. FEES AND TAXES

5.01 Within sixty (60) days after acceptance of this Agreement by AT&T, LICENSEE shall pay to AT&T the fees required by the Supplement(s) initially attached hereto for the DESIGNATED CPUs listed in such Supplement(s).

5.02 Within sixty (60) days after acceptance of each additional Supplement by AT&T, LICENSEE shall pay to AT&T any fee required by such additional Supplement for the DESIGNATED CPUs listed in such additional Supplement.

5.03 Payments to AT&T shall be made in United States dollars to AT&T at the address specified in Section 7.11(a).

5.04 LICENSEE shall pay all taxes, including any sales or use tax (and any related interest or penalty), however designated, imposed as a result of the existence or operation of this Agreement, except any income tax imposed upon AT&T by any governmental entity within the United States proper (the fifty (50) states and the District of Columbia). Fees specified in Supplement(s) to this Agreement and in Schedule(s) attached to Supplement(s) are exclusive of any taxes. If AT&T is required to collect a tax to be paid by LICENSEE, LICENSEE shall pay such tax to AT&T on demand.

VI. TERM

6.01 This Agreement shall become effective on and as of the date of acceptance by AT&T.

6.02 LICENSEE may terminate its rights under this Agreement by written notice to AT&T certifying that LICENSEE has discontinued use of and returned or destroyed all copies of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS subject to this Agreement.

6.03 If LICENSEE fails to fulfill one or more of its obligations under this Agreement, AT&T may, upon its election and in addition to any other remedies that it may have, at any time terminate all the rights granted by it hereunder by not less than two (2) months' written notice to LICENSEE specifying any such breach, unless within the period of such notice all breaches specified therein shall have been remedied; upon such termination LICENSEE shall immediately discontinue use of and return or destroy all copies of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS subject to this Agreement.

6.04 In the event of termination of rights under Sections 6.02 or 6.03, AT&T shall have no obligation to refund any amounts paid to it under this Agreement.

6.05 LICENSEE agrees that when a SUBSIDIARY'S relationship to LICENSEE changes so that it is no longer a SUBSIDIARY of LICENSEE, (i) all rights of such former SUBSIDIARY to use SOFTWARE PRODUCTS subject to this Agreement shall immediately cease, and (ii) such former SUBSIDIARY shall immediately discontinue use of and return to LICENSEE or destroy all copies of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS subject to this Agreement. No fees paid to AT&T for use of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS on DESIGNATED CPUs of such former SUBSIDIARIES shall be refunded; however, LICENSEE may substitute other CPUs for such DESIGNATED CPUs in accordance with Section 2.03.

VII. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

7.01 Nothing contained herein shall be construed as conferring by implication, estoppel or otherwise any license or right under any patent or trademark. However, in respect of patents under which AT&T can grant rights, AT&T grants to LICENSEE all such rights necessary for the use by LICENSEE, pursuant to the rights granted herein, of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, except to the extent that such patents apply (i) independently of the use of any such SOFTWARE PRODUCT, (ii) because a DESIGNATED CPU is used in combination with other hardware or (iii) because any such SOFTWARE PRODUCT is modified from the version furnished hereunder to LICENSEE by AT&T or is used in combination with other software.

7.02 This Agreement shall prevail notwithstanding any conflicting terms or legends which may appear in a SOFTWARE PRODUCT.

7.03 AT&T warrants that it is empowered to grant the rights granted hereunder. AT&T makes no other representations or warranties, expressly or impliedly. By way of example but not of limitation, AT&T makes no representations or warranties of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose, or that the use of any SOFTWARE PRODUCT will not infringe any patent, copyright or trademark. AT&T shall not be held to any liability with respect to any claim by LICENSEE, or a third party on account of, or arising from, the use of any SOFTWARE PRODUCT.

7.04 LICENSEE agrees that it will not, without the prior written permission of AT&T, (i) use in advertising, publicity, packaging, labeling or otherwise any trade name, trademark, trade device, service mark, symbol or any other identification or any abbreviation, contraction or simulation thereof owned by AT&T (or a corporate affiliate thereof) or used by AT&T (or such an affiliate) to identify any of its products or services, or (ii) represent, directly or indirectly, that any product or service of LICENSEE is a product or service of AT&T (or such an affiliate), or is made in accordance with or utilizes any information or documentation of AT&T (or such an affiliate).

7.05 Neither the execution of this Agreement nor anything in it or in any SOFTWARE PRODUCT shall be construed as an obligation upon AT&T to furnish any person, including LICENSEE, any assistance of any kind whatsoever, or any information or documentation other than the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS to be furnished pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02.

7.06 (a) LICENSEE agrees that it shall hold all parts of the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS subject to this Agreement in confidence for AT&T. LICENSEE further agrees that it shall not make any disclosure of any or all of such SOFTWARE PRODUCTS (including methods or concepts utilized therein) to anyone, except to employees of LICENSEE to whom such disclosure is necessary to the use for which rights are granted hereunder. LICENSEE shall appropriately notify each employee to whom any such disclosure is made that such disclosure is made in confidence and shall be kept in confidence by such employee. If information relating to a SOFTWARE PRODUCT subject to this Agreement at any time becomes available without restriction to the general public by acts not attributable to LICENSEE or its employees, LICENSEE'S obligations under this section shall not apply to such information after such time.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.06(a), LICENSEE may distribute copies of a SOFTWARE PRODUCT, either in modified or unmodified form, to third parties having licenses of equivalent scope herewith from AT&T (or a corporate affiliate thereof) for the same SOFTWARE PRODUCT, provided that LICENSEE first verifies the status of any such third party in accordance with specific instructions issued by AT&T. Such instructions may be obtained on request from AT&T at the correspondence address specified in Section 7.11(b). LICENSEE may also obtain materials based on a SOFTWARE PRODUCT subject to this Agreement, provided that LICENSEE treats such materials as if they were part of such SOFTWARE PRODUCT.

7.07 The obligations of LICENSEE and its employees under Section 7.06(a) shall survive and continue after any termination of rights under this Agreement or cessation of a SUBSIDIARY'S status as a SUBSIDIARY.

7.08 LICENSEE agrees that it will not use SOFTWARE PRODUCTS subject to this Agreement except as authorized herein and that it will not make, have made or permit to be made any copies of such SOFTWARE PRODUCTS except for use on DESIGNATED CPUs for such SOFTWARE PRODUCTS (including backup and archival copies necessary in connection with such use) and for distribution in accordance with Section 7.06(b). Each such copy shall contain the same copyright and/or proprietary notices or notice giving credit to a developer, which appear on or in the SOFTWARE PRODUCT being copied.

7.09 Neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by LICENSEE and any purported assignment or transfer shall be null and void.

7.10 Except as provided in Section 7.06(b), nothing in this Agreement grants to LICENSEE the right to sell, lease or otherwise transfer or dispose of a SOFTWARE PRODUCT in whole or in part.

7.11 (a) Payments to AT&T under this Agreement shall be made payable and sent to:

Each party to this Agreement may change an address relating to it by written notice to the other party.

Soft-00015 - AT&T-SCO 1985 Software Agreement - Proof Readers Needed
Authored by: arch_dude on Saturday, December 20 2003 @ 11:15 PM EST
Thanks, Scott.

This is the single most important contract in this case, with the exception of
SOFT-000321, and the PDF is really rotten, so this transcription is very
valuable.

A minor point on the transcription: page one clearly started as a printed
contract with certain portions filled in with a typewriter. If would be very
helpful if the typed-in portions were in a different font.

I'm almost certain that SOFT-00321 started from the same printed contract, and
that it is identical to SOFT-00015 in all respects except for the typewritten
information on page one. Therefore, you can create a transcript of SOFT-000321
from the SOFT-00015 transcript by copying and making a few changes to page one.

We need a new type of "article."
Authored by: arch_dude on Saturday, December 20 2003 @ 11:35 PM EST
GROKLAW does an outstanding job of reportng the news. It is clearly the best
site on the internet for following the SCO case on a daily basis.

However, the structure of the web site does not lend itself to ongoing analyses
of particuar issues. We need a way to maintain ongoing comment threads based on
key points in the case as opposed to comments on news.

In particular, the SCO vs. IBM case has reduced to two principal SCO arguments.
One is based on SOFT-000321, para 2 (the expansive interpretation of derived
works) and the other is based on misappropriation of trade secrets during the
Monterrey project. Many Groklaw regulars have done quite a bit of analysis on
the first and somewhat less on the second, but these analyses are buried in
comments in old articles.

So, is there a way to add a set of fixed threads, or some other structure, to
the Groklaw site?

The most important lines:
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, December 26 2003 @ 03:32 PM EST
If information relating to a SOFTWARE PRODUCT subject to this Agreement at any time becomes available without restriction to the general public by acts not attributable to LICENSEE or its employees, LICENSEE'S obligations under this section shall not apply to such information after such time.

I'm not a lawyer, a paralegal, a coder, or even particularly bright, but do these lines look like the most important for helping IBM's case? Looking at how many things have been published about the old UNIX, how many methods and coding examples have been used worldwide for years, there seems to be a great deal of information relating to the software in question that HAS become available to the general public.

Real jailtime for McBride? (oftopic sorr)
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, December 26 2003 @ 06:19 PM EST
from http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=13335


Summery:
Novell claims ownership of Unix System V, and SCO also.
SCO threatened to send DMCA warning letters to 1,000 companies that SCO believes
are using Linux.In such an event, SCO executives might be the ones facing civil
lawsuits and possibly even criminal prosecutions under the provisions of the
DMCA

sections of the DMCA, which is otherwise known as "Title 17, United States
Code, Chapter 12":

"§ 1202. Integrity of copyright management information
(a) FALSE COPYRIGHT MANAGEMENT INFORMATION.--No person shall knowingly and with
the intent to induce, enable, facilitate, or conceal infringement-- (1) provide
copyright management information that is false,...."

and

"§ 1204. Criminal offenses and penalties
(a) IN GENERAL.--Any person who violates section 1201 or 1202 willfully and for
purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain-- (1) shall be fined
not more than $500,000 or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both, for the
first offense;...."

Would Darl know about this??

Run-time libraries
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, December 27 2003 @ 02:09 AM EST
NOTE: Run-time Libraries Routines from the following run-time libraries may be included in customer-developed application software without payment of a sublicensing fee to AT&T.
  • Standard C Library /lib/libc.a
  • Math Library /lib/libm.a
  • Object File Access Library /lib/libld.a
  • Fortran Library /usr/lib/libF77.a
  • The header files SCO identified as "infringing" earlier this week are related to these run-time libraries. In particular, /lib/libc.a probably uses all the header files pertinent to a target CPU platform. How does the waiver of license fees for these binary libraries relate to SCOs ability to claim royalties from reverse-engineered derivatives? (assume for now that SCO can somehow establish ownership and authorship of the disputed work.)

    I can find nothing concerning "reverse engineering" in these documents. Absent such restrictions, permissible reverse engineering ("fair use") under copyright laws in effect at the time should be applicable. This would allow creation of third-party unix documentation for the binary interface protocols, and programmers could use that documentation or permissible reverse-engineering methods to create compatible software.

    Linux use of the interface protocols in the files identified by SCO clearly predates IBM's involvement. It seems to me that SCO has no case against IBM in this area because of that time-line, nor against anybody else because those binary APIs were permitted to be distributed without royalty payments, and reverse engineering of those protocols is allowed (pre-DCMA).

    ianal, nor a paralegal, nor a professional rammer of progs.
