For purposes of this Agreement, +Executable Code is the compiled code, which is ready to run on Licensee's +computer. Source code consists of a set of files which contain the actual +program commands that are compiled to form the Executable Code. + +1. The Software is intellectual property owned by Illinois, and all right, +title and interest, including copyright, remain with Illinois. Illinois +grants, and Licensee hereby accepts, a restricted, non-exclusive, +non-transferable license to use the Software for academic, research and +internal business purposes only, e.g. not for commercial use (see Clause 7 +below), without a fee. + +2. Licensee may, at its own expense, create and freely distribute +complimentary works that interoperate with the Software, directing others to +the TCBG server to license and obtain the Software itself. Licensee may, at +its own expense, modify the Software to make derivative works. Except as +explicitly provided below, this License shall apply to any derivative work +as it does to the original Software distributed by Illinois. Any derivative +work should be clearly marked and renamed to notify users that it is a +modified version and not the original Software distributed by Illinois. +Licensee agrees to reproduce the copyright notice and other proprietary +markings on any derivative work and to include in the documentation of such +work the acknowledgement: + + "This software includes code developed by the Theoretical and Computational + Biophysics Group in the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and + Technology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign." + +Licensee may redistribute without restriction works with up to 1/2 of their +non-comment source code derived from at most 1/10 of the non-comment source +code developed by Illinois and contained in the Software, provided that the +above directions for notice and acknowledgement are observed. Any other +distribution of the Software or any derivative work requires a separate +license with Illinois. Licensee may contact Illinois (vmd@ks.uiuc.edu) to +negotiate an appropriate license for such distribution. + +3. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED +"AS IS" AND ILLINOIS MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AND EXTENDS NO WARRANTIES OF +ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES +OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THAT THE USE OF +THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK, OR OTHER RIGHTS. +LICENSEE ASSUMES THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE OF THE +SOFTWARE AND/OR ASSOCIATED MATERIALS. LICENSEE AGREES THAT UNIVERSITY SHALL +NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT,INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL +DAMAGES WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM BY LICENSEE OR ANY THIRD PARTY ON ACCOUNT +OF OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND/OR ASSOCIATED +MATERIALS. + +4. Licensee understands the Software is proprietary to Illinois. Licensee +agrees to take all reasonable steps to insure that the Softwareis +protected and secured from unauthorized disclosure, use, or release and +will treat it with at least the same level of care as Licensee would use to +protect and secure its own proprietary computer programs and/or information, +but using no less than a reasonable standard of care. Licensee agrees to +provide the Software only to any other person or entity who has registered +with Illinois. If licensee is not registering as an individual but as an +institution or corporation each member of the institution or corporation +who has access to or uses Software must agree to and abide by the terms +of this license. If Licensee becomes aware of any unauthorized licensing, +copying or use of the Software, Licensee shall promptly notify Illinois +in writing. Licensee expressly agrees to use the Software only in the +manner and for the specific uses authorized in this Agreement. + +5. By using or copying this Software, Licensee agrees to abide by the +copyright law and all other applicable laws of the U.S. including, but not +limited to, export control laws and the terms of this license. Illinois +shall have the right to terminate this license immediately by written +notice upon Licensee's breach of, or non-compliance with, any +terms of the license. Licensee may be held legally responsible for any +copyright infringement that is caused or encouraged by its failure to +abideby the terms of this license. Upon termination, Licensee agrees to +destroyall copies of the Software in its possession and to verify such +destruction in writing. + +6. The user agrees that any reports or published results obtained with +the Software will acknowledge its use by the appropriate citation as +follows: + +"VMD was developed by the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group + in the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the + University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign." + +Any published work which utilizes VMD shall include the following reference: +"Humphrey, W., Dalke, A. and Schulten, K., `VMD -Visual Molecular +Dynamics', J. Molecular Graphics, 1996, vol. 14, pp. 33-38." + +Electronic documents will include a direct link to the official VMD page +at http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/ + +7. Commercial use of the Software, or derivative works based thereon, +REQUIRES A COMMERCIAL LICENSE. Should Licensee wish to make commercial +use of the Software, Licensee will contact Illinois (vmd@ks.uiuc.edu) to +negotiate an appropriate license for such use. Commercial use includes: +(1) integration of all or part of the Software into a product for sale, +lease or license by or on behalf of Licensee to third parties, or +(2) distribution of the Software to third parties that need it to +commercialize product sold or licensed by or on behalf of Licensee. + +8. Government Rights. Because substantial governmental funds have been +used in the development of VMD, any possession, use or sublicense of the +Software by or to the United States government shall be subject to such +required restrictions. + +9. VMD is being distributed as a research and teaching tool and as +such, TCBG encourages contributions from users of the code that might, at +Illinois' sole discretion, be used or incorporated to make the basic +operating framework of the Software a more stable, flexible, and/or useful +product. Licensees who contribute their code to become an internal +portion of the Software agree that such code may be distributed by +Illinois under the terms of this License and may be required to sign an +"Agreement Regarding Contributory Code for VMD Software" before Illinois +can accept it (contact vmd@ks.uiuc.edu for a copy). + +UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED. + + +Contact Information: + +The best contact path for licensing issues is by e-mail to +vmd@ks.uiuc.edu or send correspondence to: + VMD Team + Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group + Beckman Institute + University of Illinois + 405 North Mathews MC-251 + Urbana, Illinois 61801 USA + FAX: (217) 244-6078 |
