25                <P>To get access to <A HREF="../html/technology.html">technology</A> and support by the GTP <I>for free</I>, companies developing software within the EU have to sign the <A HREF="http://www.gametools.org/SIG/GTP_SIG_Membership_Agreement_Standard_v1.pdf" target="_blank"><B>GTP SIG Membership Agreement</B></A><B> </B> - in our opinion a small price to pay for what you get in return :-).</P>
26                <P>The agreement was voluntarily kept as concise and liberal as possible. It consists of a <I>general</I> and a <I>specific</I> part. </P>
27                <P>The <I>General Part</I> contains standard game middleware software licensing stuff,&nbsp;such as Confidentiality, Copyright &amp; Ownership,&nbsp;etc.</P>
28                <P>The <I>Special Part</I> contains the following points:</P>
29                <P><B>SIG Membership Offical:</B> You agree to allow us to make it known to the world that you are a GTP SIG member. Basically that means free exposure for your company ;-)</P>
30                <P><B>Use of GTP technology/software:</B> This is the good part - it allows you to use GTP technology for any purpose (also commercial, of course), condition to the following four logical restrictions...</P>
31                <P><B>EU Focus:</B> Since the GTP is funded by the European Union and is here to boost software development within the EU, this is what you agree to do - develop software using the GTP libraries within the EU :-) </P>
32                <P><B>Credit:</B> Same as with many libraries, you must state that your are using GameTools techology in your product, when shipping it.</P>
33                <P><B>Scientific Results:</B> GameTools represents leading edge research, so naturally the participating universities must have protection against their results/sourcecode being used by someone else to produce scientific publications. Remember, you get full access to optimized sourcecode if you are a&nbsp;SIG member, something which is not the norm in the academic community !</P>
34                <P><B>Library Creation:</B> This is also a natural one - since the GTP is supplying its libraries for free to SIG members, we do not want a SIG member to create and/or sell libraries based on the technology.</P>
