-Upon execution of this Agreement by the party identified below ("Licensee"),
-The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois ("Illinois"), on behalf
-of The Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group ("TCBG") in the Beckman
-Institute, will provide the NAMD molecular dynamics software ("NAMD") in
-Executable Code and/or Source Code form ("Software") to Licensee, subject to
-the following terms and conditions. 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 (namd@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 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:
-
-"NAMD 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 NAMD shall include the following reference:
-
-"Laxmikant Kale, Robert Skeel, Milind Bhandarkar, Robert Brunner,
- Attila Gursoy, Neal Krawetz, James Phillips, Aritomo Shinozaki,
- Krishnan Varadarajan, and Klaus Schulten. NAMD2: Greater scalability
- for parallel molecular dynamics. J. Comp. Phys., 151:283-312, 1999."
-
-Electronic documents will include a direct link to the official NAMD page
-at http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/
-
-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 (namd@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 NAMD, any possession, use or sublicense of the
-Software by or to the United States government shall be subject to such
-required restrictions.
-
-9. NAMD 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 NAMD Software" before Illinois
-can accept it (contact namd@ks.uiuc.edu for a copy).
-
-UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED.
