The license is perpetual and can be terminated only if Licensee breaks the agreement. I don't see how that can be an issue. Can you please explain the problem?

- Silhouette 10y agoThe stated jurisdiction is unclear and the main licence term includes the word "revocable". Unfortunately, that combination alone means the licence would contradict our usual guarantees to clients. These typically say we will only incorporate third party elements when the client has a perpetual and irrevocable legal right to use and redistribute those elements as part of whatever we're delivering. The furthest we've ever stretched this is including FOSS with widely recognised licences where there may be a well understood obligation on the client to provide the source code on demand, and some clients won't be happy going that far. The bottom line is that our clients don't want to get bogged down with the terms of third party contracts or licence agreements and whether they could undermine the whole project, so anything with the slightest hint of risk is immediately more trouble than it's worth in this sort of area.
