For purposes of this Agreement, +Binary 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 Binary 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 PPL server +(http://charm.cs.uiuc.edu) 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 Parallel Programming Laboratory +in the Department of Computer Science 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 (kale@cs.uiuc.edu) to negotiate +an appropriate license for such distribution. + +3.

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 Software is 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 abide by the terms of this license. +Upon termination, Licensee agrees to destroy all 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: + +"Charm++/Converse was developed by the Parallel Programming Laboratory in the +Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at +Urbana-Champaign." + +Any published work which utilizes Charm++ shall include the following +reference: + +"L. V. Kale and S. Krishnan. Charm++: Parallel Programming with Message-Driven +Objects. In 'Parallel Programming using C++' (Eds. Gregory V. Wilson and Paul +Lu), pp 175-213, MIT Press, 1996." + +Any published work which utilizes Converse shall include the following +reference: + +"L. V.

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 (kale@cs.uiuc.edu) to negotiate an +appropriate license for such use.

Charm++/Converse is being distributed as a research and teaching tool and as +such, PPL 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 Charm++/Converse Software" before Illinois can accept it +(contact kale@cs.uiuc.edu for a copy). + +UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED. + + +Contact Information: + +The best contact path for licensing issues is by e-mail to kale@cs.uiuc.edu or +send correspondence to: + +Prof. L.
