Dear List,
"z/OS Licensed Program Specifications" includes a section permitting you
to redistribute modules from CEE.SCEELKED (among many other libraries)
which have been included your programs.
This is not a surprise as I had always believed this to be allowed. What
is a surprise is that this permission first appears in z/OS Licensed
Program Specifications with z/OS 2.3 in September 2017. Prior to that,
permission was (and still is) in the notices at the end of "LE Vendor
Interfaces".
My research also uncovered a change in the IMS Licensed Program
Specifications at around the same time. I couldn't find the CICS
Licensed Program Specifications, so I gave up looking for a pattern.
Does anyone know why it changed? Is there some legal reason?
If you haven't guessed by now, I don't really care about any of this,
but Legal are on my case (pun intended) and I am at a dead end. I've a
feeling that the people on this List have long memories and might be
able to help.
A t D h V a A n N k C s E,
Andrew
