Does anyone know if eligibility for a license under CSLG/ESL is
contingent on the hardware?
I'm at UCLA, and the University of California participates in the
CSLG/ESL from Compaq. The software license folks claim that in
order to buy a license of CSLG/ESL (and get access to all of the
software), we must be buying it for a Compaq Alpha machine running
Tru64 UNIX.
However, I have a vendor who believe that that's not true. As long
as I have a valid license of Tru64 UNIX, I should be able to buy a
license of CSLG/ESL. Otherwise, they claim that it's an illegal
restriction of trade or something like that.
I've read thru all the license agreements on the Compaq site, and
there is no reference to a hardware requirement to participate in
CSLG/ESL. But the software license folks (including the ones at
Compaq) seem convinced that only Compaq systems are eligible.
Can anyone shed some insight?
I can be reached at the above email (sung.kang.bk.94_at_aya.yale.edu)
or at kangs_at_ucla.edu. Thanx in advance.
