- ECU licenses the Software from IBM and annually pays license fees for a limited number of copies in accordance with ECU’s license agreement with IBM. I will not copy the Software and will not permit access to the Software by others.
- Source code underlying the object code provided with the Software is trade secret of IBM and its licensors which I am not authorized to access. I will not reverse assemble, reverse engineer or decompile the Software or otherwise attempt to access such source code.
- I will use the Software within the United States for teaching and non-commercial academic research purposes only. I understand that any other use including but not limited to commercial or profit-making use or university administration and operations of the Software is strictly prohibited.
- When I am no longer a faculty member, staff member or registered student of ECU, or when requested to do so by SPSS or ECU, I will return the Software to the appropriate ECU official and delete any images of the Software installed on my Hardware.
