UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA

                      Policy Governing Use and
                  Duplication of Computer Software



    The University of Arizona forbids, under any circumstances,  the
unauthorized reproduction of software or use of illegally
obtained software.  Using University equipment to make  illegal
copies of software is prohibited.  University  employees and students
who violate this policy are subject  to disciplinary action.
Individuals who violate U.S.  copyright law and software licensing
agreements also may be  subject to criminal or civil action by the
owner of the  copyright.



The University of Arizona, along with many other colleges and
universities, supports this statement from the 1989 brochure "Using
Software", distributed by EDUCOM*:

"Respect for intellectual labor and creativity is vital to academic
discourse and enterprise.  This principle applies to works of all
authors and publishers in all media.  It encompasses respect for the
right to acknowledgement, right to privacy, and right to determine
the form, manner, and terms of publication and distribution.

"Because electronic information is volatile and easily reproduced,
respect for the work and personal expression of others is especially
critical in computer environments.  Violations of authorial
integrity, including plagiarism, invasion of privacy, unauthorized
access, and trade secret and copyright violations, may be grounds for
sanctions against members of the academic community."

University employees and students are required to adhere to any
specific conditions or restrictions required by the licensing
agreements for software programs purchased with University funds.
For commonly used licensing agreements, the following conditions
apply:

1.  It is illegal to copy a software program, such as WordPerfect
    (R), Lotus (R)1-2-3(R), dBase III Plus TM, Norton Utilities, or
    DOS, and install that single program for simultaneous use on
    multiple machines.

2.  Unauthorized copies of software programs may not be used on
    University equipment.  This applies even though you yourself may
    not have made the illegal copy.

3.  Purchase of the appropriate number of copies of a software
    program is necessary for maintaining legal status, especially if
    you are using machines connected to a network. 4.University
    employees and students are prohibited from assisting in making or
    using illegal copies of software.

5.  University employees and students are permitted to make an
    archival (back-Up) copy of a software program provided it is not
    used or transferred separately from the original program.
