BSA Corporate Software Policy regarding the use of personal computer software

 

1.

The BSA Corporation (BSA) licenses the use of computer software from a variety of outside companies. BSA does not own this software or its related documentation and unless authorized by the software developer, does not have the right to reproduce it except for backup purposes.

2.

With regard to Client/Server and network applications, BSA employees shall use the software only in accordance with the license agreements.

3.

BSA employees shall not download or upload unauthorized software over the Internet or otherwise place software onto company computers.

4.

BSA employees learning of any misuse of software or related documentation within the Company shall notify the department manager or BSA’s legal counsel.

5.

According to applicable copyright law, persons involved in the illegal reproduction of software can be subject to civil damages and criminal penalties including fines and imprisonment. BSA does not condone the illegal duplication of software. BSA employees who make, acquire, or use unauthorized copies of computer software shall be disciplined as appropriate under the circumstances. Such discipline may include termination.

6.

Any doubts concerning whether any employee may copy or use a given software program should be raised with a responsible manager before proceeding.

I am fully aware of the software use policies of BSA and agree to uphold those policies.
