Who

The primary parties to a license agreement are the licensor and the licensee. The licensor is the entity that owns or controls the property or subject matter of the license and is typically the entity granting the rights at issue. The licensee is the entity that wants access to or use rights for the property.

In our case, the licensor may also be referred to as the "vendor" while the licensee is North Carolina State University. The NCSU Libraries is not the licensee, since it is not a legal entity for contracting purposes. The NCSU Libraries' licenses are for the benefit of a third group, the Libraries' users, who are not parties to the contract/license.
