You (the user) may copy and distribute SOFA source code to others, +* and use and adapt its code and algorithms in your own software, +* on a world-wide, royalty-free basis. That portion of your +* distribution that does not consist of intact and unchanged copies +* of SOFA source code files is a "derived work" that must comply +* with the following requirements: +* +* a) Your work shall be marked or carry a statement that it +* (i) uses routines and computations derived by you from +* software provided by SOFA under license to you; and +* (ii) does not itself constitute software provided by and/or +* endorsed by SOFA. +* +* b) The source code of your derived work must contain descriptions +* of how the derived work is based upon, contains and/or differs +* from the original SOFA software. +* +* c) The name(s) of all routine(s) in your derived work shall not +* include the prefix "iau" or "sofa" or trivial modifications +* thereof such as changes of case. +* +* d) The origin of the SOFA components of your derived work must +* not be misrepresented; you must not claim that you wrote the +* original software, nor file a patent application for SOFA +* software or algorithms embedded in the SOFA software. +* +* e) These requirements must be reproduced intact in any source +* distribution and shall apply to anyone to whom you have +* granted a further right to modify the source code of your +* derived work. +* +* Note that, as originally distributed, the SOFA software is +* intended to be a definitive implementation of the IAU standards, +* and consequently third-party modifications are discouraged. All +* variations, no matter how minor, must be explicitly marked as +* such, as explained above. +* +* 4. You shall not cause the SOFA software to be brought into +* disrepute, either by misuse, or use for inappropriate tasks, or +* by inappropriate modification. +* +* 5.

The provision of any version of the SOFA software under the terms +* and conditions specified herein does not imply that future +* versions will also be made available under the same terms and +* conditions. +* +* In any published work or commercial product which uses the SOFA +* software directly, acknowledgement (see www.iausofa.org) is +* appreciated. +* +* Correspondence concerning SOFA software should be addressed as +* follows: +* +* By email: sofa@ukho.gov.uk +* By post: IAU SOFA Center +* HM Nautical Almanac Office +* UK Hydrographic Office +* Admiralty Way, Taunton +* Somerset, TA1 2DN +* United Kingdom +* +*----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
