The Different Types of Licenses
Developer, Research, Freeware & Shareware Licenses DiceLock patent owner grants developers a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license for the development phase of any products containing the algorithm. DiceLock Security highly recommends that developers will register with DiceLock Security . There is no registration fee for developers making use of the On-Line Registration Form. Once registered at DiceLock Security developers are put on a mailing list providing the latest news about the algorithm.
Special offer for shareware developers: Selling any software and/or hardware containing the algorithm is subject to a product license. However, there is a special waiver for shareware developers. Such waiver eliminates the up front fees as well as royalties for the first 10,000 EUROS gross sales of the product containing the algorithm, if and only if: a) The product is being sold for a minimum of 10.00 EUROS and a maximum of 100.00 EUROS. b) The source code for the shareware product is available to the public. Beyond 10,000 EUROS gross sales from the shareware product the standard terms and conditions for product licenses shall apply. Free use for private purposes: The free use of software and/or hardware containing the algorithm is strictly limited to non revenue generating data transfer between private individuals, i.e., not serving commercial purposes. Requests by freeware developers to obtain a royalty-free license to spread an application program containing the algorithm not for commercial purposes must be directed to DiceLock Security. Special conditions applicable for European research projects: The use of the algorithm in European research projects is free, provided that it serves the purpose of such project and within the project duration. Any use of the algorithm after termination of a project, including activities resulting from a project and for purposes not directly related to the project, strictly requires a site license, product license or end-user license. The company license is designed to allow an entity (the company licensee) to use the algorithm for encryption of internal communications between its affiliates and staff (whether located at a single site or at multiple sites) and for communications with third parties being entitled to use the algorithm.The company license comprises the
