  • Abstract
    A Software license is an agreement between a user and the owner of a software program that permits a user to do certain things that would otherwise be an infringement of copyright law. Typically, a software license agreement is based on set of rules that a user has to comply with while using the software. Sometimes, the price of the software and licensing fees is also discussed in the licensing agreement, but usually it´s described elsewhere. However, typically used catchphrases in software License Agreement make the text of the agreement complex for a common user. However, the people think it necessary to understand the Software License Agreement before they sign it. In this study we propose a system for automatic generation of catchphrases from software License Agreement to make interpretation of the agreement easy and straightforward.
