From the FAQ there: Q4. What are the licensing terms? U/WIN source and binary are freely available within AT&T without restrictions. Outside of AT&T, binary copies of U/WIN can be downloaded from the web site, http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin provided you agree to the licensing terms. The license does not allow redistribution of U/WIN and the distribution does not come with source. It does allow redistribution of the necessary dynamic linked libraries with any application created with U/WIN that is not provided by U/WIN itself to any licensed U/WIN user provided that you credit AT&T Laboratories. ... Q16. Is U/WIN supported commercially? A16. AT&T can grant commercial licenses for U/WIN but does not offer support. Global Technologies, Ltd, URL http://www.gtlinc.com, has been licensed by AT&T to sell and distribute U/WIN for commercial use. Global Technologies, Ltd. holds the trademark for U/WIN. and from it's license agreement: 1. By this Agreement, AT&T grants you a royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable, personal right to use UWIN solely for the Non-Commercial Purpose of evaluating UWIN. As part of the evaluation, you may prepare and use derivative works (the "Derivative Works") which incorporate the POSIX.DLL and AST52.DLL libraries (the "Libraries") of UWIN into software which you own or have the right to modify (the "Underlying Work"). You also may transfer a Derivative Work to another person only if you have all of the rights in the Underlying Work necessary to do so, and only to a person who has been granted the right to use UWIN by AT&T (a "Licensed User"), provided that such person treats the work as Derivative Work under the Agreement with AT&T. You may also make copies of UWIN to the extent necessary to exercise your rights hereunder. All copies of UWIN (or any utilities furnished in connection with UWIN) prepared in accordance with paragraph 1 shall retain the copyright notices appearing in UWIN. You shall treat any work you receive from a Licensed User as a Derivative Work. ...etc... 3. As used in this Agreement, "Non-Commercial Purpose" means use of UWIN and Derivative Works solely for education or research. "Non-Commercial Purpose" excludes, without limitation, any use of UWIN or Derivative Works for, as part of, or in any way in connection with a product (including software) or service which is sold, offered for sale, licensed, leased, loaned or rented. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, YOU SHALL NOT USE, COPY, DISTRIBUTE OR TRANSFER UWIN OR DERIVATIVE WORKS IN ANY FORM, AND NO LICENSES ARE GRANTED OR IMPLIED. and it's that "...or in any way in connection with a product..." that I interpret to mean that I can't use it under that license (unless I were evaluating it for a purchase). And at http://www.gtlinc.com/Products/Uwin/uwin.html is the pricing: Win95 WinNT Base $99 $199 SDK $229 $449 If you know otherwise, let me know :-). -- Scott Blachowicz - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
