Howeve, I am sure tht could be taken to be a
derriveative work, and as
such covered in parrt by the licence in question. I know you don't intend
that, but it is not at all clear how a future owner of your technology
could react. I';d certainly want things a lot clearer before I made use
of the STRAM formet.
Hey Tony,
no it can't. Jean did not use "the technology". He got the information
from us and never signed an agreement, NDA or whatever.
The licence I read (on the Kryoflux website llast week, probably in the
PC distribution) seemed to define 'Technology' as includign the
documentation. And I feel that this could well include the file format.
I accept it's not your intetnion to limit the file format in this way,
but I think the licence needs work...
In any case there are many things I can download and read on your website
that I can't just use as I like. You licnese specifically prohibts me
from revers-engineerign the program, it prevents me
using any part of in
in a competing product, and so on. I do not have to sign any
agreenment
or NDA to get that material either.
While I may be in favour of 'open' solutions, I am happy to accept that
you have the legal and moral right to distribute your work (or not) under
whatever licence you choose, and that if I don;t agree to the terms than
I don't use your work. Nowehre is it clear to me that the file format
does not come under this
