Karla,
The wording you have below sounds reasonable as we would only use the code for internal valuation purposes. I also checked with Vince regarding the issues we discussed by phone yesterday. He would like to specify a 2 day response time for the software support. Also, he would like to specify that the payment schedule be: 50% at time of initial contract and 50% at the time when the software is released. This would give them an incentive to release the software before the full year is over if they want to accelerate the payment. Thanks again for all the help, Stinson From: Karla Feldman on 09/06/2000 10:30 AM To: Stinson Gibner/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: D-G Energy Stinson, While trying to put together the agreements for D-G Energy, I have an additional question: I need to know exactly what yall plan to do with the Source Code once you have it after the initial one year period is up? There are still limitations as to what you can do with it, so I will need to know so we can try to revise the contract so that you will be legal. For example, in the language regarding release of the source code from escrow, it states that once you have the source code, you just have the "right to use, copy and modify the Source Code, solely for our internal purposes in connection with support, maintenance and operation of the Software". Do yall plan to reverse engineer, decompile, etc? Do you plan on using any of their code to create our own product? If so - I think these are going to be a problem. The latter would be an infringement issue, unless we were to contract to do so. Please let me know more details of your plan so I can see how we need to proceed in this area. Thanks, Karla x67554
