| * SOFA Software License |
| * ===================== |
| * |
| * NOTICE TO USER: |
| * |
| * BY USING THIS SOFTWARE YOU ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING SIX TERMS AND |
| * CONDITIONS WHICH APPLY TO ITS USE. |
| * |
| * 1. The Software is owned by the IAU SOFA Board ("SOFA"). |
| * |
| * 2. Permission is granted to anyone to use the SOFA software for any |
| * purpose, including commercial applications, free of charge and |
| * without payment of royalties, subject to the conditions and |
| * restrictions listed below. |
| * |
| * 3. 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 SOFA software is provided "as is" and SOFA makes no warranty |
| * as to its use or performance. SOFA does not and cannot warrant |
| * the performance or results which the user may obtain by using the |
| * SOFA software. SOFA makes no warranties, express or implied, as |
| * to non-infringement of third party rights, merchantability, or |
| * fitness for any particular purpose. In no event will SOFA be |
| * liable to the user for any consequential, incidental, or special |
| * damages, including any lost profits or lost savings, even if a |
| * SOFA representative has been advised of such damages, or for any |
| * claim by any third party. |
| * |
| * 6. 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 |
