If I were a client, a big concern I would have with this license is what happens if one of my competitors rips off my product that is using the licensed software, and I want to bring a copyright infringement lawsuit against them. Generally, a licensee cannot sue for infringement of something they only have a nonexclusive license for. There is some discussion of this here: http://www.copyrightcodex.com/enforcement-toc/22-plaintiffs#... Even if my product contains copyrighted material in addition to your material, and I either own the copyrights on or have an exclusive license on that material and so do have standing to sue over it, the presence of your material would complicate things. The defense is going to argue that if they did copy my product, they only copied the parts that I do not have standing to sue over. |
