SS12 does not include features we need otherwise I would happily purchase a support entitlement. So I'm hoping someone can clarify the permitted uses of SSX with the default license or some alternative option if available. If this is the wrong place to ask.. please direct me to the right place..
If there's a difference between the de jure and de facto answer giving both is appreciated. 1) Is it generally acceptable to redistribute SSX in part or whole? (I ask because if I'm not mistaken most everything on os2008* releases are redistributable...?) From the license... Exhibit A: Permitted Number of Copies: Unlimited. However, it's non-transferable and there's no clause about redistribution that I can find.. (Small side note: IPS currently doesn't support mirroring, but if/when it does and if/when there are community mirrors.. How would that be affected by this license if SunStudioExpress is part of those default authorities) 2) I'm seeing some verbiage which if I'm not mistaken means it can't be used commercially and also applies in part or whole to question 1.. section 2 "internally solely for the purpose of evaluation during the term of this Agreement." "3.2 Licensee shall have no right to use the Technology for commercial uses or in a production environment." 3) Frankly, from my evaluation of sun cc vs gcc I'm quite happy that gcc isn't the default compiler. On the other hand it would be disappointing and a waste of space if sunstudioexpress can't be used for commercial purposes. The only entitlement I'm aware of is for SS12.. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong and paste the link Kindly, Christopher
