Please clarify license terms for the PDF test suites

The Adobe Acrobat Engineering team site (http://acroeng.adobe.com/wp/) is a great resource, containing all sorts of test files that are very helpful when developing PDF tools. Unfortunately, that site does not make the license terms of the test suites clear. Would it be possible to clarify the terms underwhich those files have been made available, so that it is clear whether we can re-use them for testing purposes? (e.g. CC-BY or whatever).

We don't have a product - I am one staff member from a number of international 'memory institutions' (national libraries, archives, etc.) that all work together to understand and document digital formats for long-term preservation purposes. As we pool knowledge across organizations, limiting documents to 'internal use' is problematic.
Of course, we can share metadata about your documents, and refer to them by URL, but that gets tricky when we want to talk about details. Can we blog about a specific fragment of one of those documents? Can we include a screen shot? Where is the line? Simple licensing helps make this clear.
Also, frankly, we are playing a very long game and have to plan for the possibility that that website, and even Adobe itself, might not exist one day. This means we are not keen to become dependent upon test suites that cannot be kept safe by being cloned across our organizations.
EDIT: Hm, sorry if that came across as ungrateful. Thanks for offering to provide more examples, and of course, it's great to have these documents available (internal use is better than no use!). I just wanted to make it clear there are other use cases that these conditions can't cover.

  • Can someone from Sun post license terms for the 1.6.13 version of the JRE?

    A section of the 1.6.13 README relating to redistribution of the JRE appears to be out of date. I need an updated version that reflects the new plugin architecture. I'm updating a private JRE but would like to exclude as much as possible to reduce the surface of the static JRE.

    Yes, I didn't make that clear (first thing in the morning). Even though the JMF Diagnostic applet doesn't work for me on RedHat 9.0 using the Java Plugin with JDK 1.4.2, JMF DOES work for me from the command line. It seems that the Java 1.4.2 Plugin isn't finding JMF on the path. For me, the Java 1.5 Plugin resolves this issue.

  • What are the licensing terms for Creative Cloud Market Assets?

    Hi, can anyone enlighten me on the licensing terms for Creative Cloud Market Assets? I have seen this question asked in the forum before, but as yet there's been no answer (or no helpful answer).
    For example, although royalty free, does the licence exclude items for resale? For example:
    • Can a CC Market pattern be used on a mug for resale?
    • Can a CC Market pattern be used as an allover print on accessories? ie a children's bag
    Thanks for the help.

  • What are the license conditions for the customer ?

    What is the license agreement for the customer to use Beehiveonline ? Is it similar as the OUM Customer model copied below? thanks Francis
    OUM Customer Program: The OUM Customer Program allows customers to obtain copies of the method for their internal use by contracting with Oracle for a services engagement of two weeks or longer. Customers who have a signed contract with Oracle and meet the engagement qualification criteria as published on Customer tab of the OUM Website, are permitted to download the current release of OUM for their perpetual use. They may obtain subsequent releases published during a renewable, three-year access period.

    Hi,
    We do not have a license requirement for BeehiveOnline as this is a service provided by oracle for Oracle customers, partners etc. to allow them to work more efficiently with Oracle. It is not a system that the customer can control as the groups are maintained by the Oracle,contact.
    We rely on the normal terms and conditions that all users sign up to when they create an oracle.com website account.
    So in short - it is a free-to-use service licensed under the same agreement as the normal oracle.com websites acount.

  • Generating 2 test reports for the same test - XML and HTML

    Hi All,
    I have a special test requirement.
    Need to generate 2 test reports for the same test. One in HTML and the other in XML format.
    Is there any direct method for that?
    How it can be implemented?
    Thanks in advance.
    SajK

    Hi SajK,
    To accomplish this task, you will need to modify the process model. For example, if you are using the sequential process model, you can concentrate on the TestReport sequence call and the various report related steps in the Single Pass and Test UUTs sequences.
    The TestReport sequence (also a callback) relies on Parameters.ReportOptions.Format to decide which of the following sequences to use when generating the report:
    <TestStand>\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels\reportgen_txt.seq
    <TestStand>\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels\reportgen_html.seq
    <TestStand>\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels\reportgen_xml.seq
    In your case, instead of choosing one of the sequences, you could hard code it to use both the html and xml sequences. Be aware that for this to work, you must also modify and/or duplicate most of the report related steps in the Single Pass and Test UUTs sequences. For instance, the Set Report Format step becomes unnecessary since you are hard-coding the report format. On the other hand, the Write UUT Report step needs to be duplicated, one step to write to an html file location, and another to write to the xml file location.
    Please note that modifying the process mode in this way will deprecate some of the settings in the report options dialog box (such as the report format). For more information on TestStand report generation, please refer to the following DevZone article:

  • Windows Server 2012 The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured

    Hi
    I have a standard Windows Server 2012 that is hosted in the cloud by a hosting provider -
    This server has been up and running fir 6 months - recently we have been getting a warning
    "The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured" - The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license server.
    Yet, we only use this with 2 connections as part of the standard licence agreement and this server is not used as a user's desktop only an ftp and web server- do therefore we do not need to purchase any cal licences (we have another server with the same
    hosting company that does not have this issue and has been up for 18months)
    Please can someone advise how I resolve this issue, the hosting company states that I must resolve it as they only host and resell the server licence
    Thank-you
    Richard Steele

    Hi Richard,
    You need to uninstall Remote desktop session host feature. After removing it, you will default two connections which does not need to purchase RD CALs'.

  • Correct term for the Safe attribute in creating New Managed Property

    Hi,
    I'm creating a new managed property through Powershell and XML. I need to set the Safe attribute to true. Do you know the correct term for the Safe attribute? I have tried "Safe" and "SafeForAnonymous" but still didn't worked.
    <Property ManagedName="ArticleStartDateOWSDATE" CrawlName="ows_q_DATE_ArticleStartDate">
          <Crawl Category="SharePoint" PropSet="ed280121-b677-4e2a-8fbc-0d9e2325b0a2"  Variant="31" IsEnum="false" />
          <Managed Type="1" Queryable="true" Refinable="false" Retrieve="true" FullText="false" RemoveDup="false" Respect="false" Multi="false" sortable="true"
    WordBreaker="false" SafeForAnonymous="true"/>
        </Property>
    Regards,
    Napster

    Hi Napster,
    How do you create managed metadata with PowerShell?
    If you use PowerShell cmdlet New-SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataManagedProperty to create a new custom Managed Property, both parameters
    -Safe $true and
    -SafeForAnonymous $true could work, and ManagedPropertyInfo has property SafeForAnonymous, so it should be better to use SafeForAnonymous.
    Please try to get the correct attribute name and value from XML file, then pass it to the PowerShell cmdlet  New-SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataManagedProperty parameter -SafeForAnonymous, then check results again.
    Here are some useful articles about this topic you can take a look.

  • Microsoft releases new license terms for Windows 10

    Finally, it's nice to see MS actually writing some nice, readable licensing agreements.
    Although I am pretty sure that there will be a move to get the Insiders onto WaaS at some point in the future, but since they have had a free OS for a number of years at that point then I am sure most people will not mind.

  • Cross Company Stock Transfer- Please check excise base for the item is zero

    Hi,
    My scenario is Cross company Stock transfer (Two different Company Codes)
    I have done following steps :
    1.Create Purchase Order
    2.Create Outbound Delivery for Purchase Order
    3.Post Goods Issue for Delivery
    4.Creating Billing Document
    5.Creating Excise Invoice
    6.Printing of Excise Invoice
    7.Post Goods Receipt for Stock Transport Order
    Till MIGO there is no problem.
    I am getting a errro while doing MIGO with reference to Outbound Delivery, when I enter Excise Invoice created in sending plant, I am getting error as
    "Please check excise base for the item is zero" - Message no. 4F121
    Excise Duty values are flowing as per the excise invoice but system make base value as 0 , I have maintained Assesable value in J1ID also. We are using TAXINN.
    Pl. help
    Thanks
    Vikas

    Hi
    The best way to slolve this problem, Now is to maintain Assable value in Material Master For reciving Plant.
    Hear you can maintain all the chapter id, register A or C, etc
    and then try doing GR,
    The other way and the permanent solution is
    VPRS or equivalent
    Condition class B Prices
    Calculat.type C Quantity
    Condit.category  H
    Cond.control H Condition value fixed
    Condit.origin A Automatic pricing
    In this Condition category is most important and by this only system copies the base amount for excise duty calculation in MIGO or J1IEX.
