All,
I'd like to post something for contemplation, not to direct at Dale
specifically, but this is something that continually concerns me when I see
people selling Cisco equipment. Please read the following paragraph from
the Cisco's Policy on Software License Transfer:
"Like many high-tech companies that produce software, Cisco adopts a policy
of non-transferability of its software in order to protect its intellectual
property rights. What this means in practice is that owners of Cisco
products are only allowed to transfer, re-sell or re-lease used Cisco
hardware and not the embedded software that runs on the hardware. This
policy also applies to Cisco standalone software applications."
I interpret this to mean that if you buy a router from someone, and it
includes a software image, you have not purchased the software, and must
purchase that from Cisco. I realize that few people pay attention to this,
but it would be a shame to see GroupStudy get involved in any legal actions
due to software licensing violations.
Am I reading this right, or has the legal jargon gotten away from me?
The thread below made me go check on this because I have not met anyone with
a home lab that contained this many Enterprise Plus IPSEC/3Des images that
were legally licensed, and the cost of something like this, I would imagine,
is in the thousands of dollars.
Input welcome!
