ItsMeSol Good day to all!
Our Company need the EULA of data Loader which contain restrictions and IP right on derivative programs, etc. Anyone can give me the copy? Please Help.
It's a standard BSD-2 3-clause license.
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses
It doesn't use the words "derivative works" or "intellectual property", but it clearly states the requirements for redistribution in modified or unmodified form.
It doesn't contain restrictions or IP rights on derivative programs, because it's a permissive licnese, are there are not any restrictions, aside from the three clauses.
If the concern is about placing restrictions on your own application, note that derivative works based on BSD-2 licensed material may be released under a proprietary license or as closed source software.

Thanks for the reply- but the Approver commented, "doesn't contain restrictions and IP right on derivative programs, etc."
