Open Source Products. “Open Source Products” means any software component that is subject to any open- source copyright license agreement, including any GNU General Public License or GNU Library or Lesser Public License, or other license agreement that substantially conforms to the Open Source Definition as prescribed by the Open Source Initiative or otherwise may require disclosure or licensing to any third party of any source code with which such software component is used or compiled. Consultant will identify any Open Source Products which are incorporated into the Consultant Materials and post or link to the applicable license agreement associated with any such Open Source Products on its website. Customer acknowledges that it has access to such information and a duty to read and comply with the applicable license agreements.
Open Source Products. The products may include individual open source products components, each of which has its own copyright and its own applicable license conditions. The open source products are licensed to customer under the terms of the applicable open source license conditions and/or copyright notices accompanying the products.
Open Source Products. There are a number of open source products available that UBC could use for its business productivity tools. However, there are still compatibility issues across products and potential impacts on current systems at UBC are not known. It is unlikely that this option could be successfully used without costing the university significant time and effort to convert. The use of a non-standard office product may also cause difficulties for staff, faculty, and researchers attempting to collaborate with colleagues and interact with students. It is unlikely that UBC could easily persuade students to convert to an open source product today. It is also unlikely given the decentralization on campus that departments would stop purchasing Microsoft products. We do not believe that this is a viable option for UBC at this time. Business and Operational Impacts The business and operational impacts for each of the viable options is listed below. Impact & Description Current State UBC-Wide Campus Agreement Departmental Agreement Savings to UBC None High Med Liability for compliance with Microsoft licensing policies High Low High Cost for Microsoft desktop licenses High Low Low Departmental FTE effort to administer licenses High Low Med Departmental FTE effort to distribute licenses for work-at-home High Low High UBC Bookstore Revenue Negative Impacts (recurring) Low Low Low Recommendation A UBC-wide Campus Agreement is the best option for achieving significant savings on core Microsoft software and attaining significant benefits. Cost/Benefit Analysis Summary of Estimated Costs and Estimated Savings Current State Annual costs (Averaged) Campus Agreement Annual costs (Averaged) Annual Savings (Averaged) $1,800,000 $950,000 $880,000 These numbers are estimates, and are based on some key assumptions that are conservative, and have been reviewed with other members of the UBC community. However, in the absence of inventory or financial information, assumptions have been made to determine costs and potential savings. Appendix I identifies the assumptions that have been made. Some of the benefits under a campus agreement are difficult to measure. For example, productivity gains from having all staff using the same software. The table below demonstrates some of the additional benefits that will be achieved.
