    New Compiler Licenses Provide Runtime Distribution Rights
   
SunFLASH Vol 33 #9					      September 1991 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attention softare developers who deliver and support ready-to-run
applications:

Sun Technology Enterprises announces royalty-free distribution rights
for the runtime libraries of their C, C++, FORTRAN, and Pascal
compilers; and royalty-bearing distribution rights for the Sun Common
Lisp runtime libraries.

RUNTIME LICENSES ARE NECESSARY BECAUSE:

Nearly every program developed for Sun Systems uses the libraries that
are bundled with SunOS.  In additions, most programs also use libraries
that are bundled only with SPARCompilers.

The new licensing terms for SPARCompiler C, C++, FORTRAN, Pascal, and
Common Lisp enable developers to ship the relevant runtime libraries
with their software products.  Effective immediately the new terms
eliminate the need for special software distribution agreements between
Sun and its independent software developer.  Except for Sun Common
Lisp, developers may deliver the runtime modules without incurring
royalties to Sun Technology Enterprises.

   The SPARCompiler products are as follows:

Product		Version		RUNTIME MODULE
Sun C		 1.1		Royalty Free
Sun C++ 	 2.1		Royalty Free
Sun FORTRAN	 1.4		Royalty Free
Sun Pascal	 2.1		Royalty Free
Sun Common Lisp	 4.0		Orderable as CLE-X-X-X-0

Existing customers can acquire copies of the new licenses from their
Sun sales representative, or in new purchases of SPARCompiler products.
