Please check the license agreements, but to my knowledge JZOS is a copyrighted, licensed component of the IBM SDK Java Technology Edition for z/OS, which is licensed at no additional charge with/for z/OS, to licensed z/OS customers. I have personal knowledge of an incident in which somebody foolishly "borrowed" a "small" portion of OS/390 and used it improperly, without a license. IBM was understandably quite upset, and... well, you really don't want to know the price. :-( Paul Gilmartin wrote (asking about the IBM Record Generator for Java): >Does "freely" mean that one may download it to a filesystem shared by someone >who is not so licensed, and that someone ... Quoting IBM: "The Record Generator for Java V3.0 is available to clients of z/OS V2.1, or later, at no additional charge. It can be downloaded from IBM. License redistribution rights are provided for deployment to non-z/OS platforms to support distributed development and build." So it's a qualified yes. Yes, a licensed z/OS 2.1 (or higher) customer can redistribute the IBM Record Generator for Java V3.0 but only for development and build. For license information, please visit: http://www.ibm.com/software/sla/sladb.nsf The license terms for the IBM Record Generator for Java and SDK for z/OS (Java Technology Edition) are both available there. At this moment in time the "LI" numbers are L-APIG-AN3FEN and L-JPLW-AS3PVH. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM Z and LinuxONE, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
