Automatic Extraction of Catchphrases from Software License Agreement

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.
