Stiftung SIC / IAIK Java Crypto-Software Development Kit Licence Agreement

Educational and Research Licences

Educational Licences

An educational licence is granted to educational institutions wishing to use our products for educational purposes. Educational Licences follow the same principles as in our commercial licence, but the licence fees are waived.

An educational licence will be granted when downloading the evalution version of the required IAIK Java Security product. Before starting the downloading procedure you  have to conscientiously fill out a registration form in order to become registered as a IAIK Java Security software user. Click the Eductional Licence check box for indicating your intention to obtain an educational licence. When successfully registered, we will send you an email containing a User Name and a Password to be used for downloading, together with download instructions.

There is no way of obtaining an educational licence if ordering the CDROM version of the requested IAIK Java Security product. If you intend to use a CDROM, you must ask for a commercial licence.

Research Licences

A research licence is granted to research institutions using our products for research projects only. Research Licences follow the same principles as in our commercial licence, but the licence fees are waived. The results of a research project can only be used within that project and for a maximum of 2 years. If the results are exploited or used beyond that 2-year time frame, a commercial licence must be acquired.

Important: Redistribution of programmes

Any software developed with an educational licence may be distributed or sold only without the IAIK toolkit. Users, intending to run such software, must aquire runtime licences at Stiftung SIC. (If such users intend using the software in education, an educational licence can, of course, be used ). Any commercial use requires commercial licensing from Stiftung SIC.

If any of this software is freeware, we might allow free use of our evaluation version for such software on a case by case basis. Authors of such software are asked to send a copy of the software (no sources please!) together with a description of the software to jce-sales@iaik.tugraz.at.

1. DEFINITIONS
   For the purpose of this Licence Agreement, the following definitions are valid:

   a. The term "SOFTWARE" refers to IAIK Java Crypto Software in any form (source code, object code or other) including documentation. The SOFTWARE is the sole property of Stiftung SIC and protected by Austrian, International Copyright Law, e.g. the Revised Berne Convention, and the US Copyright Act.

   b. "IAIK Java Crypto Software" means either IAIK-JCE, iSaSiLk or any other Java-based Crypto-Software development kit which usually consists of source code (if applicable; for source licences only), Java byte code or any other form of object code. The Software and additional tools are distributed in documentation, manuals, user guides, sample application code, tools - including any revisions, patches and updates delivered or downloaded by the customer.

   c. "IAIK Java Crypto Software Runtime Modules" means the runtime object code modules provided with, or derived from, an IAIK-Java-Crypto Software Development Kit, which are usually distributed as a Java-Archive in JAR or ZIP-Format, or in any other format suitable for use by application programmes or other software.

   d. "IAIK-Crypto Software based Application" means any computer programme created by the Licensee using any of the IAIK-Toolkits, with the exception of server software, which is considered as a different category.

   e. "Server software" means IAIK-Crypto Software based applications run or published on a server (like but not limited to a web server). Examples for server software are applets, servlets, CGI-scripts or software that is run on a server. Applications which can be downloaded and installed from the Internet or any other place do not count as server software.

   f. "To publish" means that an application is retrievable or accessible from a certain server, but not installed on another machine.



2. GRANTING of LICENCES
   
   
   • Free Trial Licence:

     The SOFTWARE can be downloaded from the INTERNET and used free of charge for thirty days for inspection and testing purposes. The test version may not be used for actual applications or commercial usage and must not be redistributed via any medium. Once the testing period is concluded this licence automatically expires, whereupon all copies of the SOFTWARE at the LICENSEE´s premises must be destroyed.

   Upon payment received by Stiftung SIC in accordance with the price list (without deductions), the Licensee is granted one of the licences specified below: :
   
   • Developers Licence:

     Stiftung SIC grants the Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to use the number of copies of each of the IAIK-Toolkits identified below for the development of IAIK-Crypto Software- based applications or server software only. Any attempt to use an IAIK-Toolkit for any other purpose, including, but not limited to, the creation of a toolkit, or inclusion in a different toolkit, is not permitted.

     The number of developers licences acquired entitles the equivalent number of licensee employees to develop IAIK-Crypto Software-based applications using the IAIK Crypto-Software. For unlimited licences, all employees of the licensee are allowed to use the IAIK Crypto-Software. These licences are not transferable to contractors or any other persons, organisation or companies outside the licensee’s organisation, excluding the following scenario: A developer license can be transferred to a subcontractor in case of necessity during the course of a project, and if the results of the project are subsequently only owned by the licensee: In this case the customer is allowed to transfer the purchased developer license to a subcontractor exclusively for developing software for this project and only for the time span of the project. In this case it must be guaranteed that either the customer or the subcontractor – and not both - use the Software. To be even clearer, the subcontractor may not use the licenses for own developments outside the project nor may he own, sell or redistribute the results of the projects in any other way.

     The Licensee may produce as many additional copies of the elements of the Stiftung SIC-Toolkit as he has purchased licences. He may also produce as many copies of the runtime modules as needed for the development of IAIK-Crypto Software based applications. The IAIK Toolkit may also be stored on a Network-Server, if the appropriate number of licences has been acquired. The Licensee may also produce one additional copy of each IAIK-Toolkit for back-up or archival purposes. No other right to reproduce the SOFTWARE is granted.

   • Runtime Licence:

     Stiftung SIC grants the Licensee a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable licence to run the respective number of IAIK-Crypto Software-based applications that have been developed by the Licensee under a Developers Licence. These licences are transferable to customers or other third parties, which means that if the customer or other third party acquires a certain number of licences for IAIK-Crypto Software-based applications from the licensee, the respective number of runtime licences are transferred to the customer. If the licensee grants his customers an unlimited number of runtime licences, the licensee also needs an unlimited runtime licence from Stiftung SIC.
     

   • Server Licence:

     Stiftung SIC grants the Licensee a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable licence to run IAIK-Crypto based applications on a server or to publish IAIK-Crypto based applications on the respective number of servers (virtual servers do count!). An application that is published on more than one server needs as many licences as the number of servers on which it is published. These licences are transferable to customers or other third parties, so that if the customer or other third party acquires a certain number of licences for servers using IAIK-Crypto Software from the licensee, the respective number of server licences are transferred to the customer. If the licensee grants his customer unlimited licences, the icensee also needs an unlimited server licence from Stiftung SIC.

   • Source Code Licence:

     Full licences contain the Source-Code of IAIK Java Crypto-Software. This source code is only provided for inspection purposes and Stiftung SIC does not grant the Licensee any licence to use that source-code beyond inspection. The only exception to this is when the customer purchases an additional Unlimited source code developer toolkit license add-on. This Add-On adds the right to modify the source code. You need to order any unlimited developer toolkit license together with the unlimited source code developer toolkit license. Stiftung SIC has no obligation to support code that has been changed and it also is the responsibility of the customer to care for integrating updates.

     In case of licence termination, the Licensee must destroy all copies of the source code.

    

3. LIMITATIONS for all LICENCES:
   
   LICENSEES must not attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, reverse translate or in any other manner decode the computer programmes in the IAIK-Toolkit in order to derive the source code there from, other than in cases where the LICENSEE has requested Stiftung SIC in writing to urgently supply interface information needed and has not received this information within four weeks.
   
   ATTENTION
   
   THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT DOES NOT INCLUDE LICENSING OF THE INCLUDED ALGORITHMS, when appropriate. Please see http://jce.iaik.tugraz.at/sales/algorithms/ for a summary of the licence/patent status situation of algorithms used in IAIK-JCE.
   It is the sole responsibility of Licensees to ensure the legality of using the IAIK-Crypto software in their countries. Stiftung SIC declares that to the best of its knowledge all parts of the IAIK-Toolkits have been developed by Austrian citizens, except for the HTTP implementation (w3c_http.jar) delivered with the iSaSiLk distribution, and the NTP implementation (ntp.jar) delivered with the IAIK-TSP distribution.

4. Terms of Licence:
   
Upon receipt of order and payment, Stiftung SIC will ship the SOFTWARE to the Licensee. The licence commences at time of shipment and continues for a period of one year, unless terminated earlier, as specified later in this Agreement. During the period of this Agreement, the Licensee has the right to receive free updates or new versions of the SOFTWARE. Upon payment the licence may be renewed annually thereafter. Following termination of the licence, the Licensee may continue using the software provided, but will not get patches or new versions. If the Licensee has not purchased an unlimited number of runtime licences, the conditions stated in Articles 2 (concerning runtime licences) and 16 (concerning Audit rights) remain valid beyond the terms of this agreement.
