Software Usage Agreements and licenses are used to transfer software to academia, industry and other federal agencies.
Licenses are agreements that are negotiated between two or more parties for commercialization of software in a specific field of use, or for a specific purpose.
A Software Usage Agreement (SUA) is an agreement for use of a piece of software. Depending on the stage of development and NASA mission related goals, SUAs are used for beta-testing software, delivering software to partners who have existing grants, contracts, cooperative agreements and Space Act Agreements, and for use of software by other federal agencies, commercial entities and academia.
Those parties interested in obtaining software from NASA Dryden should contact the Software Release Officer at (661) 276-3321 or email technology@dfrc.nasa.gov.
