License: Interfacing CCleaner

CCleaner for Windows
1

Hello, I have a question concerning the legality of a new program I made for the I.T. Department I work for. I have made a simple program that automates cleaning computers software wise. It runs several tasks, varing from defragging to CCleaner. The program itself is open-source and under the GPL v3.0 License. The program is on a sever and uses a portable version of CCleaner.

My question is; Can I legally 'interface' CCleaner.exe (by simply using the /auto parameter) into my simple program? I looked at the included license and it said;

You may NOT repackage, translate, adapt, vary, modify, alter, create derivative works based upon, or integrate any other computer programs with, the Product in whole or in part.

Also, I am clearly stating, in a Readme, that CCleaner is not my work and uses it's own license with the following lines of text;

*The program also uses 'CCleaner', a free program avaible at www.piriform.com/ccleaner

*'CCleaner' is in no way affiliated with this software and does not apply to Computer Cleaner's license,

view 'bin\CCleaner\License.txt' for CCleaner's license

Thanks

You can have your program call ccleaner, but it cannot be included in your public download

Users will have to get ccleaner from it's official download loactions (here or filehippo)

{this is not an official statement but, only, my reading of the license}

Thank you for your quick reply. I was not planning on public downloads (nor private), but I now know for future reference. That answers my question perfectly.

jbob, please remove your signature we usually don't like for newer members to have links that go offsite, but especially for something that obviously seems to be a blatent advert for a lemmings clone

Of course, sorry about that.
