Solutions for Worry-Free Redistribution of Dynamic Languages

Software and hardware vendors including Alcatel-Lucent, CA and Cisco have discovered the benefits of using open source dynamic languages in their applications to save development time, get to market faster, and create a seamless customer experience. They rely on ActivePerl, ActivePython, or ActiveTcl to run their applications.

Then they count on ActiveState's OEM solutions for turnkey redistribution rights. By relying on ActiveState to license applications properly, our OEM customers are rest assured, knowing they're covered with indemnification against potential copyright infringement lawsuits. Plus, they use dynamic languages with confidence knowing they've got access to on-demand, guaranteed support.

If you embed Perl, Python or Tcl in commercial software or hardware, you'll gain peace of mind by trusting ActiveState OEM solutions to eliminate potential legal headaches and costs that can occur when you distribute open source software in commercial products.

Eliminate Legal Risk 

Your organization could be vulnerable to an Intellectual Property lawsuit if you: 

  • Sell or bundle software that contains Perl, Python or Tcl 
  • Sell hardware that runs software containing Perl, Python or Tcl 
  • Make software with Perl, Python or Tcl available for download 

Protect your organization from Intellectual Property or copyright infringement claims with turn-key redistribution rights for ActivePerl, ActivePython and ActiveTcl.

Simplify Licensing 

Developers don’t always know precisely which open source components are embedded in their products. That's because they may download open source code from the Web and start using it without management approval. As such, open source software may get included in proprietary software without proper licensing. Let ActiveState take the guesswork out of Perl, Python and Tcl and the complex language module licensing. After all, your team should spend time developing and delivering quality products, not struggling to decipher and implement open source licenses.

Satisfy Customers 

Make life easier for customers and partners by assuring them that you’ve licensed dynamic languages properly. Whether you're selling to government, large, or mid-size companies, they will rely on vendors so they don't need to purchase additional indemnification. More importantly, they won’t second-guess your organization’s integrity or professionalism.
