In the spirit of our current blogging efforts I felt compelled to share our EULA. Particularly due to the Open Source nature of Python and our scripting solutions...that would be a blog epic in itself...perhaps next week.
Q: What are the terms of the End User License Agreement (EULA) for Studio and/or Qualify?
A: Voila...
GEOMAGIC, INC. END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
THIS END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT ("AGREEMENT") IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU (EITHER AN INDIVIDUAL OR A SINGLE ENTITY, OR BOTH) AND GEOMAGIC, INC. ("GEOMAGIC"). IF YOU ARE INSTALLING OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRING THIS SOFTWARE AS PART OF YOUR JOB RESPONSIBILITIES, THEN YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT APPLY BOTH TO YOU AND TO THE LEGAL ENTITY THAT HAS EMPLOYED OR ENGAGED YOU.
CAREFULLY READ ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT PRIOR TO INSTALLING AND/OR USING GEOMAGIC'S SOFTWARE. BY CLICKING ON THE"I ACCEPT" BUTTON OR INSTALLING OR USING THE SOFTWARE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN YOU ARE NOT LICENSED TO INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE, AND YOU SHOULD CLICK ON THE"CANCEL" BUTTON AND CONTACT YOUR SUPPLIER FOR RETURN INSTRUCTIONS.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE SOFTWARE MAY INCLUDE PRODUCT ACTIVATION AND OTHER TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED USE AND COPYING. THIS TECHNOLOGY MAY CAUSE YOUR DEVICE TO AUTOMATICALLY CONNECT TO THE INTERNET, MAY RELY ON LICENSE KEYS, AND MAY PREVENT USES OF THE SOFTWARE THAT ARE NOT PERMITTED. USE AND ACTIVATION OF THE SOFTWARE OPERATES AS YOUR CONSENT TO TRANSMIT CERTAIN DEVICE AND/OR USER INFORMATION TO GEOMAGIC AND TO THE USE OF LICENSE KEYS.
This Agreement may only be amended by a written agreement signed by both parties; with the exception provided that updated terms may be provided to you with any upgrade delivered to you. Any conflicting terms or conditions which may accompany your order do not apply. If this Agreement is translated into a language other than English and there is a conflict of terms between the English and the other language, the English version will control (except for any officially translated non-English version included by Geomagic into the Software). You should keep a copy of this Agreement for your records.

You agree to use the Software in accordance with the Documentation and as authorized by the License Key as well as any associated license manager software provided as part of, or used in connection with, the Software.
Any usage of the Software outside the scope of the applicable License grant constitutes an infringement of Geomagic's intellectual property rights as well as a material breach of this Agreement.

4.10 Extension of Capabilities. You may develop your own applications that interoperate or integrate with the Software subject to the terms of this Section 4.10.
