They may only be distributed and/or +modified according to the guidelines listed below. The spirit of the +guidelines below is to provide the full MOLMOL package freely to as many +users as possible, prevent MOLMOL users and developers from being taken +advantage of, enhance the life quality of those who come in contact with +MOLMOL. This legal document was created so these goals could be realized. +You are legally bound to follow these rules, but we hope you will follow +them as a matter of ethics, rather than fear of litigation. + +No portion of this package may be separated from the package and +distributed separately other than under the conditions specified in the +guidelines below. + +This package may only be bundled in other software packages with the +explicit permission of the copyright holders. + +This package may only be included in software compilations using media such +as, but not limited to, floppy disk, CD-ROM, tape backup, optical disks, +hard disks, or memory cards with the explicit permission of the copyright +holders. + +The user is granted the privilege to modify and compile the source for +their own personal use in any fashion they see fit.

These +guidelines have been established to promote the growth of MOLMOL and +prevent difficulties for users and developers alike. Please follow them +carefully for the benefit of all concerned when creating a custom version. + +You may not incorporate any portion of the MOLMOL source code in any +software other than a custom version of MOLMOL without the explicit +permission of the copyright holders.

All forms of commercial distribution +are only allowed with explicit permission of the copyright holders. + +The copyright holders reserve the right to withdraw distribution privileges +from any group, individual, or organization for any reason. + + + DEFINITION OF "FULL PACKAGE" + +MOLMOL is contained in 3 archives for each hardware platform. 1) An +executable archive, 2) A documentation archive, 3) Source code archive. + +A "full package" is defined as one of the following bundle options: + 1 All archives (executable, docs, source) + 2 User archives (executable, docs but no source) + 3 Programmer archives (source, docs but no executable) + +MOLMOL is officially distributed for SGI running IRIX; Sun running SunOS; +IBM running AIX; and DEC running Digital UNIX. Other systems may be added +in the future. + +Distributors need not support all platforms but for each platform you +support you must distribute a full package. + + + CONDITIONS FOR DISTRIBUTION OF ORIGINAL VERSION + +On-line services may distribute the MOLMOL archives under the conditions +following this section. + +The archives must all be easily available on the service and should be +grouped together in a similar on-line area. + +It is strongly requested that operators remove prior versions of MOLMOL to +avoid user confusion and simplify or minimize our support efforts.
