[SOGo] Licencing question

[Fabio Onorini]

In SOGO installation guide v 2.2.0

I read this text:

"In order to use the SOGo Active Sync support code in production
environments, you need to get a proper usage license from Microsoft. Please
contact them directly to negotiate the fees associated to your user base.

To contact Microsoft, please visit:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/intellectualproperty/IPLicensing/Programs/exchangeactivesyncprotocol.aspx

and send an email to iplicreq-***@public.gmane.org

Inverse inc. provides this software for free, but is not responsible for
anything related to its usage."

So if I want to install SOGo environment with ActiveSync support for my
customers, I must negotiate licence plan?

AFAIK outside of EU yes, but not.

Hi, I don't really have the answer but for Europe , I think this cannot be
applied because these kind of "protocol patents " cannot be applied
currently, although it's still not clear in most projects what need to be
paid in such cases.

Regards

Hello
Yes this license is because ActiveSync is Pattented and in Europe it cannot  be  (European law about patents).
Article 52 of EPC :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patents_under_the_European_Patent_Convention
