The reason I am asking this is because I am new to programming and would want to know what is right or wrong before it is too late.
We have a software and are looking to make a few changes so that it works as we want it to.
The software consists of all the DLL s but does not have source code(atleast I could not find it).
Now after a lot of research I am confused and I am guessing it can be cleared after knowing the clauses in the license.
The research concluded that I can de-compile the libraries if it meets the terms of the license.
The clauses in the license are as follows:
1) The software consists of all the Dlls mentioned.
2)The use and modification of the Software is allowed for the Licensee and its employees.
3)Software, modified or not, must conspicuously and appropriately quote the following copyright notices:
Copyright @ABC
4)Modification, date and author of any change have to be specified appropriately.
5)Ownership and intellectual property rights in and to the Software remain with Licensor, except for the Third Party Patent Rights. Licensor shall remain free to distribute the Software or modified versions of it under other terms and conditions as those set forth in this Agreement, provided the rights granted herein to the Licensee are not affected.
These are the terms that I am trying to understand (like I said I am new to programming) in order for me to go ahead and De-compile the libraries.
Looking forward for answers.
Thank You in advance
