Licensing Concerns User Interface/Friendliness Support available for users Updates Licensing model – direct to end-user, distributor, and/or start-up Annual vs. Upfront & yearly support and updates

Future Licensing Identify codes for official release to academic and commercial users Work with Digital Ventures to identify contributors and develop licensing plan Educational seminars for users Technology access programs – corporate partners which want access to new software first
