No license or right relevant to any patent or trademark is herein to be construed as conferred upon you by Eiffel Software by implication or estoppels or any other basis. This is regardless as to whether the rights granted hereunder utilize invention within existing patent to be issued subsequent to the date of this agreement. All correspondence shall be directed to Eiffel Software at the following address:.
Said notice to you shall breach this agreement and you shall have a one 1 month period in which to cure any breach to the satisfaction of Eiffel Software. In the event the breach is not cured by you, you shall deliver to Eiffel Software all software and materials provided under this agreement, shall make all licensed software that may be stored in any storage unusable, and shall certify to Eiffel Software in writing that the same has been completed within that thirty 30 days period.
Eiffel Software shall have no obligation to refund any monies paid under this agreement.

Is there some way that I can GPL the output people get from use of my program?
For example, if my program is used to develop hardware designs, can I require that these designs must be free? In general this is legally impossible; copyright law does not give you any say in the use of the output people make from their data using your program.
If the user uses your program to enter or convert his own data, the copyright on the output belongs to him, not you. More generally, when a program translates its input into some other form, the copyright status of the output inherits that of the input it was generated from.
So the only way you have a say in the use of the output is if substantial parts of the output are copied more or less from text in your program. For instance, part of the output of Bison see above would be covered by the GNU GPL, if we had not made an exception in this specific case.
You could artificially make a program copy certain text into its output even if there is no technical reason to do so. But if that copied text serves no practical purpose, the user could simply delete that text from the output and use only the rest.
Then he would not have to obey the conditions on redistribution of the copied text. I was wondering about this also since their commercial licensing prices are ridiculous and clearly targeted as big enterprises, no options for freelancers which is I think huge mistake.
The only problem with licensing I see is that compiler links your program to core library. Workaround for this problem might be to use Eiffel studio for development, then if you want to deliver software in separate license - compile it using different compiler geb, tecomp. Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement. These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.
If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program or with a work based on the Program on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. You may copy and distribute the Program or a work based on it, under Section 2 in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code.
This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above. The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable.
However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed in either source or binary form with the major components compiler, kernel, and so on of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
