Licensing

Where can I find the Copilot4Eclipse End User License Agreement (EULA)?

You can find the Copilot EULA online here.

Corporate License​

Does my company need a corporate license to use Copilot4Eclipse?

Maybe. It depends on how you install and distribute Copilot4Eclipse and what level of support you want.

Let’s look at the “No you don’t” cases first. Any individual may use Copilot4Eclipse free of charge for any legal purpose, as is stated in the EULA. Here are some examples:

  • You’re an individual developer and you install Copilot4Eclipse directly from the Eclipse Marketplace for your use.
  • You’re a developer that works for a corporation and you install Copilot4Eclipse directly from the Eclipse Marketplace for your use. Additionally you are authorized by your corporation to accept the Copilot4Eclipse EULA along with corporate liability.
  • You have a company that employs developers. Each of these developers individually installs Copilot4Eclipse directly from the Eclipse Marketplace for their use on your company’s products or to consult with your company’s customers.

In any of these cases, no corporate license is required.

So when is a corporate license required?

The Copilot4Eclipse EULA is for individual-use and expressly prohibits bundling, distribution, hosting or any type of transfer of the software. If your company does any of these things for the employees of your company or its affiliates then a corporate license is required.

Here are some examples:

  • Your company does not allow developers to access the Eclipse Marketplace to directly install Copilot4Eclipse.
  • Your company does not allow developers to accept End User License Agreements and liabilities on behalf of the company.
  • You have an internal plug-in marketplace and want it to include Copilot4Eclipse within it.
  • You want to create your own update site or plug-in archive of Copilot4Eclipse in any way.
  • You want to create your own tool stack that includes Copilot4Eclipse and distribute it in any way.
  • You have a Software Management Service (SMS) that handles installs and you want to include Copilot4Eclipse to be managed in any way.
  • You need support for older OS environments which are not supported by the public release of Copilot4Eclipse.

In any of these cases, a Corporate Bundling, Distribution and Support License is required.

Are there any cases where a corporate license isn’t required but we might want one anyway?

Yes. As a boutique software company, Genuitec believes in supporting individual creativity and innovation, which is why Copilot4Eclipse is free for individual commercial use. However, if you’re in a corporate environment, please consider obtaining a corporate license to ensure:

  • Sustainability: The modest fees from corporate licenses help us cover development costs, ensuring ongoing improvements and support for everyone.

  • Certainty: Corporate licenses fully address legal clarity and security concerns.

  • Support: Corporate licenses fund dedicated support channels, ensuring businesses get the timely assistance they need.

  • Visibility: Input on the direction and timing of product evolution.

We appreciate your understanding and support. If you have any questions, we look forward to hearing from you at info@genuitec.com.
