Academic Software Licensing Policy

Under UK Copyright Law, the illegal reproduction of software can be subject to civil damages without financial limit and to criminal penalties including fines and imprisonment. Both the person who made the illegal copy and the relevant Academic Institution authorities would be liable to prosecution for each illegal copy found. SiNi Software Limited and its directors have accordingly approved the following Software Policy in regard to computer software licensed by Academic Institutions with which all members of the institution are expected to comply:

a1. The Academic Institution does not own this software or its related documentation and, unless authorised by the licence, does not have the right to copy it in any way.

a2. Whenever and however such software is used (including software mounted on Local Area Networks and multiple machines) Academic Institution staff and students must comply with the SiNi Software licence agreement.

a3. The condition in a2 above shall apply not only to software on computers owned by the Academic Institution but also to software on personal machines owned by individual staff and students insofar as the software is being used for Academic Institution purposes, including student course-work.

a4. Responsibility. Heads of institutions are responsible for ensuring that all software used within the institution and stored on computers for which the institution is responsible has been properly obtained and is being used within the terms of the software licence. The following paragraphs recommend the steps which need to be taken to ensure that any reasonable legal challenge can be met.

a5. Appointment of a responsible officer. The Head of the institution should appoint a member of staff (the Software Licence Manager) to be formally responsible to the Head of the institution for software licence management and compliance.

a6. Software licence inventory. The Software Licence Manager should maintain an inventory of software licences held by the institution. The following information should be recorded for each item of licensed software:

• the location (or IP and MAC address) of the system or systems on which the software is stored,
• any restrictions on the licensed use of the software.

a7. Software licence storage. As far as is practical, software licences should be stored in one place in the institution.

a8. Disciplinary procedures. Use of licensed software without a licence or use of software outside the terms of the licence is illegal and must be treated as a disciplinary offence. The Head of the institution is responsible firstly for, ensuring that corrective action is taken as soon as an offence comes to light and then, for ensuring that appropriate disciplinary action is taken.

a9. All users who obtain software from IT are required to sign a statement which says that they are fully aware of the University Software Policy and agree to uphold it.
