432116 -    2.  Other than some nits, it seems to cover the range of questions

432137 -    1.  -----Original Message-----
432142 -        Subject:  Use of B..... Non-standard Software, and use of
432143 -                  third party software.
432145 -         ..
432146 -        Jacky,
432148 -         ..
432149 -    2.  I was asked to clarify the procedures for handling B.....
432150 -        Non-standard software inside and outside of the work
432151 -        environment. This is a more global question, but here is a case
432152 -        which might generate several questions. With the information
432153 -        that I gather I will develop a presentation for our staff on
432154 -        the use of B..... software.
432156 -         ..
432157 -    3.  The name of the software is Schedule Diary System software
432158 -        (SDS). It was developed by Rod Welch and is a DOS based
432159 -        proprietary software that has been in development since 1985.
432160 -        It is not shareware or freeware and a license is available.
432161 -        The person using the software at home has been involved with
432162 -        the development and has used it at home. He also has a
432163 -        collaboration contract with the developer. The software is a
432164 -        Hyperlinked, automatic linking scheduling system that has a
432165 -        flexible interface that is in a text editor format that can
432166 -        link prior history or commitments with current or future
432167 -        activity. It has search capability and can find and collate
432168 -        data. This employee used the software to process some program
432169 -        information on employee owned computing equipment on home. As a
432170 -        part of publishing data, some of the program data got
432171 -        commingled into the employee's personal data and was in
432172 -        advertently made available on the internet. This person and his
432173 -        management would like to use the software here at work. When I
432174 -        say employee, I mean a technical services contract personal
432175 -        working under the direct supervision of B..... management.
432176 -        This software is going to be used as an office tool but may
432177 -        also be used as a lab tool. In answering these questions, we
432178 -        might mitigate any future issues of this nature.
432179 -
432180 -            [On 041118 Gil explained SDS has unique features that
432181 -            people and organizations need to be aware are available.
432182 -            ref SDS 4 KU85
432184 -         ..
432185 -    4.  Here are the questions:
432186 -
432187 -         a.  What is the procedure for handling B..... information on
432188 -             employee's personal computing equipment, meaning assets
432189 -             not owned by B.....?
432191 -              ..
432192 -         b.  Are there any rules against using Non-B..... equipment to
432193 -             do B..... work?
432195 -              ..
432196 -         c.  What are the employee's obligations for safeguarding
432197 -             B..... Proprietary information at work and at home?  What

432200 -              ..
432201 -         d.  What are the procedures for putting Non-standard B.....
432202 -             approved software on company assets?
432204 -              ..
432205 -         e.  Do we have to obtain a license agreement to use this
432206 -             software at B..... if it is going to be used on B.....
432207 -             equipment even though the person has special rights to use
432208 -             the software? Is this different when pertaining to capital
432209 -             equipment versus lab equipment? What would be the use
432210 -             rights for others if applicable?
432212 -              ..
432213 -         f.  Is there a conflict of interest for this person if B.....
432214 -             were to purchase a License Agreement for use of this
432215 -             software as him as a user due to the nature of the
432216 -             relationship between the employee and the developer or use
432217 -             in general by B.....? What is the Pro on that?

432220 -         g.  If this was provided as freeware or shareware what would

432223 -              ..
432224 -             Is there a difference on how you handle this software if
432225 -             you are using it as a office tool on B..... capital
432226 -             equipment versus using it as a lab tool on lab equipment
432227 -             purchased with program dollars.
432229 -              ..
432230 -         h.  Since this software is in development and may be purchased
432231 -             under direct dollars for lab use, does it fall under the
432232 -             Government  special purpose rights were the Government may
432233 -             use this software for free under the Government Purpose
432234 -             Rights Clause as it would be procured under direct
432235 -             contract dollars?

432246 -             software under B.....'s license agreement and can B,,,,,
432247 -             purchase this software for suppliers use and vice versa?
432248 -             What is the pro? How is it handled when the employee is a
432249 -             technical services employee were this employees would work
432250 -             under the supervision of B..... management and has a BEMS
