Borland Kylix/JBuilder License Reviewed

Posted by michael on from the firstborn-son dept.

DJFelix writes: "I'm probably the billionth person to submit this story, but T.J. Duchene has posted a horrifying review of Borland's license for Kylix and JBuilder 5. The license requires giving Borland the right to enter your property, search your systems and records for license compliance. The license also requires the waiving of a jury trial by all parties for all suits including class action suits. This type of gestapo licensing will not be accepted by even the most hardcore anti open-source companies. Send an e-mail to pr@borland.com to voice your concern."

    Umm... well, if your first sentence is true, wouldn't it be completely unnecessary to send them an e-mail protesting it? I mean, jeez, let the market forces run their course. Either that, or accept that the license isn't really that big a deal.
