Rep. of Germany and -(Copyright) 1996-98 University of Tuebingen, Wilhelm-Schickard -Institute for Computer Science, Koestlinstr. 6, D-72074 Tuebingen. - -SNNS is distributed by the University of Tuebingen as `Free Software' -in a licensing agreement similar in some aspects to the GNU General -Public License. There are a number of important differences, however, -regarding modifications and distribution of SNNS to third parties. -Note also that SNNS is not part of the GNU software nor is any of its -authors connected with the Free Software Foundation. We only share -some common beliefs about software distribution. Note further that -SNNS is NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN. - -The SNNS License is designed to make sure that you have the freedom to -give away verbatim copies of SNNS, that you receive source code or can -get it if you want it and that you can change the software for your -personal use; and that you know you can do these things. - -We protect your and our rights with two steps: (1) copyright the -software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal -permission to copy and distribute the unmodified software or modify it -for your own purpose. - -In contrast to the GNU license we do not allow modified copies of our -software to be distributed. You may, however, distribute your -modifications as separate files (e.g. patch files) along with our -unmodified SNNS software. We encourage users to send changes and -improvements which would benefit many other users to us so that all -users may receive these improvements in a later version. The -restriction not to distribute modified copies is also useful to -prevent bug reports from someone else's modifications. - -Also, for our protection, we want to make certain that everyone -understands that there is NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND for the SNNS -software. - -If you have any questions regarding this license agreement, please -contact Andreas Zell at zell@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de - - -********************************************************************** - SNNS License Agreement -********************************************************************** - -1. This License Agreement applies to the SNNS program and all -accompanying programs and files that are distributed with a notice -placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the -terms of the SNNS License. ``SNNS'', below, refers to any such -program or work, and a ``work based on SNNS'' means either SNNS or any -work containing SNNS or a portion of it, either verbatim or with -modifications. Each licensee is addressed as ``you''. - -2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of SNNS's source code -as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and -appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and -disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this -License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other -recipients of SNNS a copy of this license along with SNNS. - -3. You may modify your copy or copies of SNNS or any portion of it -only for your own use. You may not distribute modified copies of SNNS -You may, however, distribute your modifications as separate files (e. -patch files) along with the unmodified SNNS software. We also -encourage users to send changes and improvements which would benefit -many other users to us so that all users may receive these -improvements in a later version. The restriction not to distribute -modified copies is also useful to prevent bug reports from someone -else's modifications. - -4. If you distribute copies of SNNS you may not charge anything except -the cost for the media and a fair estimate of the costs of computer -time or network time directly attributable to the copying. - -5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer SNNS -except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt -otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer SNNS is -void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use SNNS under -this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights to -use copies, from you under this License will not have their licenses -terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. - -6. By copying, distributing or modifying SNNS (or any work based on -SNNS) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so, and all -its terms and conditions. - -7. Each time you redistribute SNNS (or any work based on SNNS), the -recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor -to copy, distribute or modify SNNS subject to these terms and -conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the -recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. - -8. Incorporation of SNNS or parts of it in commercial programs -requires a special agreement between the copyright holder and the -Licensee in writing and ususally involves the payment of license fees. -If you want to incorporate SNNS or parts of it in commercial programs -write to the author about further details. - -9. Because SNNS is licensed free of charge, there is no warranty for -SNNS, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The copyright holders -and/or other parties provide SNNS ``as is'' without warranty of any -kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the -implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular -purpose. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of SNNS is -with you. Should the program prove defective, you assume the cost of -all necessary servicing, repair or correction. - -10. In no event will any copyright holder, or any other party who may -redistribute SNNS as permitted above, be liable to you for damages, -including any general, special, incidental or consequential damages -arising out of the use or inability to use SNNS (including but not -limited to loss of data or data being rendered inaccurate or losses -sustained by you or third parties or a failure of SNNS to operate with -any other programs), even if such holder or other party has been -advised of the possibility of such damages. - -********************************************************************** - End of SNNS License Agreement -********************************************************************** |
