th
Feb 2011
p10/10
G.5 – Exclusivity
Features developed for the consortium will be exclusive to the participants for a period of three
(3) years from the date of the commercial release of the corresponding features.
This exclusivity will however be lifted for every feature that is available in one of our
competitor’s packages, in order to preserve the interests of our standard software users.
G.6 – Resources used to execute this consortium
In addition to its own resources, KAPPA will use the services of recognized technical authorities
and academic institutions. Some fundamental research will be sub-contracted to research
theses. KAPPA will also cooperate with software vendors from other disciplines as needed. The
initial proposed list of KAPPA direct and indirect resources will be provided in the next version
of this document.
G.7 – Intellectual Property
KAPPA will retain the intellectual and commercial property of the source code developed by this
consortium.
This will not apply to source code written by contributing universities, which will be accessible
to other members of the consortium if this is allowed under the policy of these universities.
For any intellectual property other than source code the policy of the consortium will be to
publish any new findings in SPE publications and make these findings available to the industry.
