Um, this is a University, and they require permission from a company to teach about their products???
Seriously, you (or maybe who you are talking to) must be misinterpreting their policy. Sure, they don't want any bootleg software. For purchased software, an invoice, license key, etc. But for free software, the free software's license agreement I'm quite certain has to be enough for them. Your IT department does not have the resources to handle the volume of paperwork that would result if every free software installation required this sort of runaround. Take the easier approach: Call up your IT guys -- explain that the software is free, open source, and what documentation of this would they like? Probably just the URL would do the trick: http://developer.android.com/intl/de/sdk/terms.html A license *is* permission. It may be contingent on paying a fee -- or not, as in this case. If you really DO get a nonsense answer, insist that either THEY do the legwork, or go up the food chain. Because somewhere up there, someone won't be wanting all that wasted overhead on silliness.
