SNNS License Agreement Readme File for SNNS version 4.2

**********************************************************************
|

|
||||
SNNS is (Copyright) 1990-95 University of Stuttgart, Institute for
|
||||
Parallel and Distributed High Performance Systems (IPVR),
|
||||
Breitwiesenstr. 20-22, D-70565 Stuttgart, Fed. 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.
|
||||
|
||||

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.
