d) Redistribution
1.
The licensee may pass on permanently the software and related documentation to third parties
provided the acquiring party acknowledges the binding nature of the terms and conditions of this
agreement with respect to copyright and usage rights.
After redistributing the software to a third party the licensee will no longer be permitted to use the
software. Redistribution requires that existing software copies are either handed over to the acquiring
party or, that copies not handed over are destroyed.
2.
The software must not be hired out for commercial purposes.
Apart from that, the licensee may relinquish the software for a fixed period of time to a third party
provided the third party acknowledges the binding nature of the provisions of this agreement and
provided the licensee hands over all existing software copies including possibly existing backup copies
or destroys all copies not handed over.
3.
The licensee may not relinquish the software to a third part for use or pass it on to a third party if there
is any suspicion that the third party is likely to violate the provisions of this agreement.
e) Decompilation and Changes to Programs
1.
Reverse translations of supplied program codes into different code types (decompilation) and other
kinds of redevelopment of the various creation steps of the software (reverse engineering) are
prohibited. If interface information is required for the purposes of establishing interoperability for an
independently created computer program, this can be acquired – insofar as technically feasible on the
part of the licensor – against reimbursement of expenses from the licensor or a third party to be
designated by him.
2.
Program translation, editing, among other things re-engineering of software or splitting and
multiplication of results thus achieved shall only be allowed insofar as this is required for the use of the
software by the licensee.
