There are a number of legal issues which you must address when developing
a graphical user interface (GUI) for embedded system use.
The KwikPeg Graphical User Interface (GUI) is an enhanced version of the
PEG Portable Embedded GUI created and distributed by Swell Software, Inc.
Portions of the KwikPeg reference manuals have, with the kind permission of
Swell Software, been derived from material which is the copyright of
Swell Software, Inc.
Your KwikPeg software license grants you the right to use KADAK's
KwikPeg implementation in your application.
Many fonts which you take for granted may actually be
copyrighted by their designers. For example, Microsoft TrueType fonts
used with Windows are copyrighted by Microsoft. Other fonts provided
by Adobe are also copyrighted by Adobe.
The system font and menu font provided with KwikPeg were designed
and implemented by Swell Software, Inc. Your KwikPeg software license
gives you the right to use these fonts in your application.
It is your responsibility to obtain the necessary license,
if any, required to use any font other than those provided with KwikPeg.
Note that capturing a font using the KwikPeg Font Grabber utility
does NOT grant a license to you to use that font.
KwikPeg uses the LZW decompression algorithm to read and decode GIF images.
The LZW algorithm is patented; the patent is owned by Unisys Corporation.
Usage of LZW requires that you obtain a usage license directly from Unisys.
Software providers such as KADAK Products Ltd. and Swell Software, Inc.
are not allowed to provide a transferable usage license.
It is therefore your responsibility to obtain an LZW usage license
if your application will perform runtime conversion of GIF images.
By providing you with a GIF decompression capability,
KADAK and Swell Software in no way imply that an LZW license
has been obtained and/or granted to you.
Nor does either assume responsibility for the actions of any user
who willfully violates the Unisys LZW patent by using the
KwikPeg GIF decompression services without first obtaining
an LZW license from Unisys.
