ITPEC FE Morning October 2023 Question 80
ITPEC FE Morning October 2023 — Question 80 of 80
Under TRIPS (WTO's Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights), a single software license permits only one installation. The only commonly permitted exception is making a backup copy for the licensee's personal use or temporary maintenance purposes.
Why not others:
- (a) Installing on many computers violates the single-license restriction — each installation requires its own license.
- (c) Modifying software AND deploying it across multiple machines compounds the violation — modification rights are not granted by default, and mass deployment breaches the license count.
- (d) Hosting software on an internal server for staff downloads constitutes unauthorized distribution, even within the company.
Key rule: Single license = one copy; backup copies for personal/maintenance use are the only TRIPS-recognized exception.
