[edit] Software Licensing should not be merged with Software License
The act of licensing software is a separate topic from the sofware license itself.
Although they are obviously interrelated, they still remain two separate things.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jigordon (talk • contribs).
- I disagree. One article can manage that issue as this separation only serves to confuse the reader. Separate article Site license should be merged also. — Moondyne 09:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
- I support the merge, but the article should be titled Software licensing, not Software license. I'll change the tags to undirected merges. ~ Keiji (iNVERTED) (Talk | Contribs) 20:05, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] only applies in the u.s.
eulas are not considered valid contracts in most parts of the world outside the u.s.. at least in europe the eula can not restrict the rights you already acquired as you bought the product. I arrived at this article from a search on "site license". It contained precisely what I needed and was ALL I needed. If merging it would make it any more difficult to find this precise info by search, I'd suggest against it.
[edit] is software tangible for tax purposes?
[edit] LicensingHandbook reference
I would rather have the discussion regarding the link to the external blog happen here instead of via an editing war. While it is true that the blog IS a promotional tool for the Software Licensing Handbook, the blog also covers software licensing issues on a weekly basis apart from the book.
To say that the blog is ONLY an advertisement for the book is misleading and incorrect. With so few real resources available to people looking to learn about how to work through the licensing process, I would also think that any additional information would be helpful.
Not to mention the fact that there are blatantly self-promotional links (and articles) all throughout Wikipedia... so a link to an outside blog that covers the topics within Wikipedia shouldn't be problematic. Jigordon 02:40, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
