HQ C-2-0011  COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND/OR COMPUTER DATABASE(S) DELIVERED TO AND/OR RECEIVED FROM THE GOVERNMENT (NAVSEA) (NOV 1996)
VII.(a) The Contractor agrees to test for viruses all computer software and/or computer databases, as defined in the clause entitled "RIGHTS IN NONCOMMERCIAL COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND NONCOMMERCIAL COMPUTER SOFTWARE DOCUMENTATION" (DFARS 252.227-7014), before delivery of that computer software or computer database in whatever media and on whatever system the software is delivered.  The Contractor warrants that any such computer software and/or computer database will be free of viruses when delivered

(b) The Contractor agrees to test any computer software and/or computer database(s) received from the Government for viruses prior to use under this contract.

(c) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, any license agreement governing the use of any computer software to be delivered as a result of this contract must be paid-up and perpetual, or so nearly perpetual as to allow the use of the computer software or computer data base with the equipment for which it is obtained, or any replacement equipment, for so long as such equipment is used.  Otherwise the computer software or computer data base does not meet the minimum functional requirements of this contract.  In the event there is any routine to disable the computer software or computer data base in the future, that date certain shall not be less than 25 years after the delivery date of the computer software or computer database.

(d) No copy protection devices or systems shall be used in any computer software or computer database delivered under this contract to restrict or limit the Government from making copies.  This does not prohibit license agreements from specifying the maximum amount of copies that can be made.

(e) Delivery by the Contractor to the Government of certain technical data and other data is now frequently required in digital form rather than as hard copy.  Such delivery may cause confusion between data rights and computer software rights.  It is agreed that, to the extent that any such data is computer software by virtue of its delivery in digital form, the Government will be licensed to use that digital-form data with exactly the same rights and limitations as if the data had been delivered as hard copy. 

(f) Any limited rights legends or other allowed legends placed by a Contractor on technical data or other data delivered in digital form shall be digitally included on the same media as the digital-form data and must be associated with the corresponding digital-form technical data to which the legends apply to the extent possible.  Such legends shall also be placed in human‑readable form on a visible surface of the media carrying the digital-form data as delivered, to the extent possible
