Greetings,
I'm a comp. admin. here in Texas. One of my users would *love* to
have ParaView installed on his WinXP box. But I've come across a kind
of problem. The president of our division has recently freaked-out
about copyright infringment and Intellecutal Property violations and
such. As a result, he's decided to pry into my life as an Admin and
demand to see a license for every piece of software (once I explained
what a license is and what it means). Since ParaView has open-source,
I'm sure I could tell him that it was Open-Source (and then explain what
that ment and avoid further issues). But I feel that ParaView, while
having open sourcecode, that it isn't Open-Source. I've dug thru the
website, the documentation from the binary packages, and the docs with
the sourcecode. I still cannot find a "License" file, or an EULA, or
anything outlining the usage permitted in clear terms. The closest I
can find is a copyright notice.
Any ideas?
