ExifTool license agreement

[mzary]

Hi Phil,
My name is Mike from ACD Systems. We are going to use your tool in our new Mac product and are looking to attribute it correctly in our EULA.
Will this suffice, or should it contain more information?

This software contains the ExifTool created by Paul Harvey, Copyright © 2010 found here: http://www.exiftool.org/index.html#license.

Hi Mike.

This is fine, except for 2 things:

1) My name is "Phil".

2) Please use "owl.phy.queensu.ca" "https://exiftool.org" instead of "www.sno.phy.queensu.ca" in the URL.

Thanks.

- Phil

Edit: Updated to new exiftool.org domain name.

Phil!
Sorry!!! I have an old friend named Paul Harvey. I probably shouldn't let my subconsicous creep into my work.
I appreciate your quick response.
Take care.
Mike

Phil - just to be explicit (IANAL and trying to decode intent of the GPL is hard!) is it ok to package the ExifTool binary in a commercial program as long as it contains a credit to you as above in the EULA?

The Perl artistic license may be easier to read, and it specifically allows this type of aggregation:

    "Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always
    permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is,
    when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible
    to the end user of the commercial distribution."
