[Chimera-users] EULA modification request

[Greg Couch]

This is not an official response.  So we can ask, but I'm sure the 
answer will be no, it is not acceptable to change our license.  We are 
also a university with the same sovereign immunity.  And keep in mind, 
involving our university's lawyers means that you might not get an 
answer for many months.  So I hope you're not in a hurry.  And our 
lawyers choose the wording in our license.  Do you still wish to pursue 
this folly?
