Beware the Convenient "Intent"
of Software Publishers
Most software license agreements used by major publishers like Microsoft and IBM are in many ways vague with respect to license restrictions and metrics. This leaves licensees in the position of having to interpret the agreements based on whatever guidance may be available from the publisher or, often, simply based on the licensees’ own experience and understanding. Unfortunately, that often lands companies in trouble in the context of an audit.
