here comes a summary from an email conversion I had with DIN about licensing. They offer two models to lower the price when multiple copies are needed: 1. Usage by 50% license fee - pay 50% of the original price per additional copy. Each additional copy can be sent to an arbitrary 3rd party. 2. License for company internal duplication - copies can be shared with employees. It's very likely not possible for us, because none of us is really employed by KDE or Gnome (?) Below is a fictional but legal scenario with 50%-fee copies: - Some e.V. or foundation buys 1 license at full price (e.g., 229.40€ at Beuth Verlag). Customer name and number will be watermarked into the PDF. - e.V. or foundation contacts DIN to request 4 further 50%- fee licenses, i.e. 4 * 114.70€. - The resulting 5 copies can now be forwarded to 5 persons as PDF file within an E-Mail. The E-Mail needs to state that the standard must not be copied or forwarded to someone else. - If one of the 5 persons resigns from working at poppler, they can give the copy back to the organization, so that it can be used for another person. - If the PDF file is stored on a server, the server needs to be access restricted. @Albert: Do you think that helps? How to go on?
