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 +********************************************************************** |
