These records are kept as evidence that downloaders have accepted the terms of the Condor software license. The Condor Project uses these records internally for research purposes and may periodically publish summary statistics, such as the total number of downloaders.

About the Condor Software

The Condor software periodically sends short messages to the Condor Project developers at the University of Wisconsin, reporting totals of machines and jobs in each running Condor system. An example of such a message is given below.

The Condor Project uses these collected reports to publish summary figures and tables, such as the total of Condor systems worldwide, or the geographic distribution of Condor systems. This information helps the Condor Project to understand the scale and composition of Condor in the real world and improve the software accordingly.

The Condor Project will not use these reports to publically identify any Condor system or user without permission. The Condor software does not collect or report any personal information about individual users.

We hope that you will contribute to the development of Condor through this reporting feature. However, you are free to disable it at any time by changing the configuration variables CONDOR_DEVELOPERS and CONDOR_DEVELOPERS_COLLECTOR, both described in section 3.3.15 of the user's manual.
