Hey Marcel,
We did check this with Ontotext because the license doesn't state clearly if
this is allowed or not, and they told us we can. See the attached email for
their answer.

\cf3 Hello Hans,\
\
Sorry that your first email didn't get through to me, but thanks very much for taking the trouble to ask.\
\
As long as you are happy about the "no warranty" aspect then please feel free to integrate OWLIM-Lite with your product(s). We would appreciate you acknowledging this contribution, although this is not necessary. However, I suggest you add something to the third party section of your license agreement stating that OWLIM-Lite is included and it is copyright Ontotext AD. Our full address is:\
\
Polygraphia Office Center fl.4\
47A Tsarigradsko Shosse\
Sofia 1504\
Bulgaria\
\
If you have need any further clarification, please get in touch. Best of luck with Amdatu. I wish you all success!\

Hey Barry,\
\
Just trying a different mail-address\'85\

------->8------\
Hello,\
\
We are developing an Open Source cloud platform named Amdatu ({\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.amdatu.org/"}}{\fldrslt \cf5 \ul \ulc5 http://www.amdatu.org}}) which features a semantic store based on OpenRDF.\
We are wondering whether it is allowed to repackage the OWLIM-Lite inferencer in the OpenSource variant of the project (for reasons of completeness).\
Reading the license text in the distribution, I could not fully determine whether this is allowed. I hope you can answer this question before we\
violate the license involuntarily\'85\
