UML StateWizard License Agreement

Dual Licensing

Intelliwizard employs a dual licensing model that offers customers a choice of either our open source license or a commercial license. Our open source license is OSI-certified and permits use of UML StateWizard in open source projects or in applications that are not distributed to third parties. Our commercial license permits closed-source distribution of an application to third parties and provides business assurance.

This model gives customers significant benefits:

Open Source License

• Huge user community
• Very high code quality
• Easier debugging and integration
• Easy download and trial
• No escrow issues
• Freedom from vendor lock-in
  

  Commercial License

• Application source code stays private
• Legal assurances, warranties and indemnification
• Full-time, dedicated development team provides ongoing maintenance and development, documentation, testing
• Single vendor to hold accountable

The our open source license permits you to use UML StateWizard at no charge under the condition that if you use the software in an application you redistribute, the complete source code for your application must be available and freely redistributable under reasonable conditions. If you do not want to release the source code for your application, you may purchase a license from Intelliwizard.

Intelliwizard recognizes the common open source licenses, including the GPL license, as open source licenses. In general, licenses recognized by opensource.org meet the Intelliwizard requirements of "freely redistributable under reasonable conditions."

Of course, releasing an application which includes UML StateWizard under an open source license does not change the requirements of our open source license, and the UML StateWizard source code remains subject to the terms of the open source license governing its use and redistribution. Our open source license is compatible with the GPL, so GPL'ed software can incorporate UML StateWizard without violating the terms of either license.

Version 1.0, 8 April 2006

Dual licensing is a win-win business model for all involved: the open source community, the commercial users, and StateWizard:

• Open source community gets superior StateWizard' software under the terms of the Open Source License.
• UML StateWizard commercial customers have the option of using reliable, community-scrutinized, battle-tested software for a cost much lower than the industry average
• UML StateWizard gets revenue which we fuel into strengthening and improvement of our software offerings.
