The regulations and contract clauses pertaining to the Government's rights when obtaining licenses to computer software programs and documentation are complex and highly unique, differing greatly from commercial transactions. Moreover, they have recently changed significantly. The software licensing landscape had altered greatly from a three-year rewrite by the Department of Defense, and from acquisition streamlining legislation. The result was an entirely new Part 227, Rights In Technical Data and Computer Software, of the Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (the DFARS).
These new licensing regulations contain, for the first time, clauses dedicated exclusively to computer software documentation. And, they substantially revise the basis on which a contractor can assert proprietary interests when licensing software products to the Government. These changes join the wide range of regulations, rights and responsibilities already in existence on the licensing of commercial and specially contracted-for software. In short, this is a complex, dynamic subject - one which software providers must know about, understand and be able to effectively manage at every step.
This special course provides clear, authoritative analysis and instruction on software licensing, offering answers to vital questions and issues, including:
- How can software providers and contractors maximize their rights and product protections?
- What types of licensing rights are available? How should they be written?
- What software and documentation do the new regulations require to be delivered with a license for unlimited rights?
- What danger/warning signals should you be looking for in solicitations?
- How do the new regulations define software "developed at private expense"?
- How is the licensing software treated when it is developed with indirect costs?
- How can proprietary source codes be protected?
- How can software developers protect proprietary applications to which the standard contract language would give the Government unlimited rights?
