Description
Summary:The Central Archive for Reusable Defense Software (CARDS) Program, sponsored by the U.S Air Force (ESC/ENS), Hanscom AFB, MA, has been investigating business areas that impact software reuse. An on-going forum, made up of DoD lawyers and contracting officers familiar with software reuse, has been established by the CARDS Program to examine legal issues and concerns related to software reuse. One primary finding from these software reuse legal forums is: risk can be managed by carefully negotiating and drafting agreements. This document provides sample agreements and associated guidelines for implementation by the CARDS Library staff. They are based on the current CARDS Command Center Library's business, operational and qualification processes and concepts, as well as recommended policy changes. This will allow the CARDS library staff to interact with its customers (suppliers of components, users of the reusable components, and interoperating libraries) to help reduce operating risk, meet its operational and technical goals, and meet the needs of its customers.
