Modified Licensing Agreement for Honeywell Level 6 C-Compiler Object Code

(25) On November 19, 1976, the Board of Trustees authorized a licensing agreement with Honeywell Information Systems of Waltham, Massachusetts, to grant Honeywell an exclusive license to market, duplicate, and deliver a C-compiler and associated manuals to users of the Honeywell Level 6 computers.1 The licensing agreement provided for royalty payments to the University of 20 percent of the net selling price of the C-compiler and associated manuals, with minimum royalty rates of $200 for each C-compiler sold; and $1 for each user manual sold. A management change in Honeywell Information Systems, combined with an unforeseen problem related to a commercial communications license, has led Honeywell to rescind its original offer and has resulted in a proposal including the following provisions: 1. The University will be paid $100,000 for full direct and indirect costs associated with the development of the Level 6 C-compiler, 2. The University will assign full rights in and title to the Level 6 C-compiler to Honeywell. In consideration of this assignment, Honeywell will pay a lump sum royalty fee of $10,000 to the University in lieu of the royalty arrangements contained in the prior proposed agreement, 3. The University will receive a royalty-free license to utilize the Level 6 C-compiler for its own purposes, and 4. The University will be given the right to grant a royalty-free sublicense to the U.S. Department of Defense to use the Level 6 C-compiler. The vice president- for administration has determined that the proposed royalty rate is economically justifiable. Waivers of any proprietary rights of developers. have been obtained by the University. . . The acting chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus,, with the concurrence of, appropriate administrative officers, has recommended that the Board of Trustees J A compiler i* a computer program that translate* programs written in a programming language into- » form that can be executed by a computer.
