[Discussioni] RFC: Nuova licenza di Caldera OpenLinux

[Roberto A. F.]

Ciao,

"Caldera has changed the license on its OpenLinux Workstation product
for
the newest version (3.1) to require one license per system the
distribution
is installed on. The company will provide a certificate of license
authenticity it says it expects to find on each system running OpenLinux

Workstation. From the reviewer's guide to Caldera OpenLinux Workstation
(5.3MB PDF):
"OpenLinux Workstation licensing has changed from previous versions.
OpenLinux Workstation, as a product, is licensed per system and cannot
be
deployed without limit Caldera will provide a certificate of license
authenticity (COLA) with each unit sold, an Caldera expects each
customer
to have a COLA for each system that deploys OpenLinux Workstation.
Although OpenLinux Workstation contains the Linux kernel and a variety
of
open source software, there are a wide variety of licenses, each with
different distribution restrictions Additionally, Caldera includes some
of
its own proprietary software as well as other Copyrighted material."
Caldera will begin shipping OpenLinux Workstation 3.1 at the end of
June."

Che ne pensate?
