IUPAC/InChI-Trust Licence for the International Chemical Identifier (InChI)
|
||
|
Software version 1.04, September 2011
|
||
|
("IUPAC/InChI-Trust InChI Licence No. 1.0")
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Copyright (C) IUPAC and InChI Trust Limited
|
||
|
This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under
|
||
|
the terms of the IUPAC/InChI Trust InChI Licence No. 1.0), or (at your option)
|
||
|
any later version.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Terms and Conditions for Copying, Distribution and Modification of the InChI
|
||
|
Software
|
||
|
|
||
|
0. This Licence Agreement applies to any software library or other program
|
||
|
which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized
|
||
|
party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Licence. The
|
||
|
Licensee is addressed as "you".
|
||
|
|
||
|
'IUPAC' means the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.
|
||
|
|
||
|
A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so
|
||
|
as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of
|
||
|
those functions and data) to form executables.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has
|
||
|
been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either
|
||
|
the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
|
||
|
containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications
|
||
|
and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter,
|
||
|
translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
|
||
|
modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source
|
||
|
code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition
|
||
|
files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the
|
||
|
library.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered
|
||
|
by this Licence; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using
|
||
|
the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only
|
||
|
if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use
|
||
|
of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what
|
||
|
the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source
|
||
|
code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
|
||
|
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
|
||
|
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this Licence
|
||
|
and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this Licence
|
||
|
along with the Library.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at
|
||
|
your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
|
||
|
|
||
|
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus
|
||
|
forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications
|
||
|
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all
|
||
|
of these conditions:
|
||
|
|
||
|
a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
|
||
|
|
||
|
b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you
|
||
|
changed the files and the date of any change.
|
||
|
|
||
|
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third
|
||
|
parties under the terms of this Licence. This requirement does not extend to
|
||
|
any "work that uses the Library" that might also be compiled or linked against
|
||
|
the "work based on the Library."
|
||
|
|
||
|
d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data
|
||
|
to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as
|
||
|
an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith
|
||
|
effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function
|
||
|
or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose
|
||
|
remains meaningful.
|
||
|
|
||
|
(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that
|
||
|
is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection
|
||
|
2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this
|
||
|
function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
|
||
|
root function must still compute square roots.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
|
||
|
sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably
|
||
|
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this Licence, and
|
||
|
its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
|
||
|
works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a
|
||
|
work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
|
||
|
this Licence, whose permissions for other Licensees extend to the entire whole,
|
||
|
and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
|
||
|
rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
|
||
|
right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on
|
||
|
the Library.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the
|
||
|
Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or
|
||
|
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of
|
||
|
this Licence.
|
||
|
|
||
|
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public Licence
|
||
|
instead of this Licence to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must
|
||
|
alter all the notices that refer to this Licence, so that they refer to the
|
||
|
ordinary GNU General Public Licence, version 2, instead of to this Licence.
|
||
|
(If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public Licence
|
||
|
has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.)
|
||
|
Do not make any other change in these notices.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so
|
||
|
the ordinary GNU General Public Licence applies to all subsequent copies and
|
||
|
derivative works made from that copy.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into
|
||
|
a program that is not a library.
|
||
|
|
||
|
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it,
|
||
|
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1
|
||
|
and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding
|
||
|
machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
|
||
|
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a
|
||
|
designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from
|
||
|
the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even
|
||
|
though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object
|
||
|
code.
|
||
|
|
||
|
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is
|
||
|
designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called
|
||
|
a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative
|
||
|
work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this Licence.
|
||
|
|
||
|
6. You may combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to
|
||
|
produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
|
||
|
under terms of your choice.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is
|
||
|
used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this Licence.
|
||
|
You must supply a copy of this Licence. If the work during execution displays
|
||
|
copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among
|
||
|
them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this Licence.
|
||
|
Also, you must do one of these things:
|
||
|
|
||
|
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
|
||
|
code for the Library including whatever changes to the Library were used in the
|
||
|
work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above).
|
||
|
|
||
|
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library.
|
||
|
A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library
|
||
|
already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library
|
||
|
functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified
|
||
|
version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified
|
||
|
version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
|
||
|
|
||
|
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to
|
||
|
give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge
|
||
|
no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
|
||
|
|
||
|
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a
|
||
|
designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials
|
||
|
from the same place.
|
||
|
|
||
|
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that
|
||
|
you have already sent this user a copy.
|
||
|
|
||
|
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library
|
||
|
side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not
|
||
|
covered by this Licence, and distribute such a combined library, provided that
|
||
|
the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other
|
||
|
library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two
|
||
|
things:
|
||
|
|
||
|
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the
|
||
|
Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed
|
||
|
under the terms of the Sections above.
|
||
|
|
||
|
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it
|
||
|
is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying
|
||
|
uncombined form of the same work.
|
||
|
|
||
|
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library
|
||
|
except as expressly provided under this Licence. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
|
||
|
modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will
|
||
|
automatically terminate your rights under this Licence. However, parties who
|
||
|
have received copies, or rights, from you under this Licence will not have their
|
||
|
Licences terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
|
||
|
|
||
|
9. You are not required to accept this Licence, since you have not signed it.
|
||
|
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library
|
||
|
or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not
|
||
|
accept this Licence. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or
|
||
|
any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this Licence to
|
||
|
do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
|
||
|
the Library or works based on it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library),
|
||
|
the recipient automatically receives a Licence from the original licensor to
|
||
|
copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and
|
||
|
conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients'
|
||
|
exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
|
||
|
compliance by third parties with this Licence.
|
||
|
|
||
|
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
|
||
|
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions
|
||
|
are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
|
||
|
contradict the conditions of this Licence, they do not excuse you from the
|
||
|
conditions of this Licence. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
|
||
|
simultaneously your obligations under this
|
||
|
Licence and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
|
||
|
distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent Licence would not
|
||
|
permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive
|
||
|
copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy
|
||
|
both it and this Licence would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the
|
||
|
Library.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
|
||
|
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and
|
||
|
the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
|
||
|
other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
|
||
|
section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
|
||
|
distribution system which is implemented by public Licence practices. Many
|
||
|
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
|
||
|
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
|
||
|
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
|
||
|
distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
|
||
|
choice.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
|
||
|
consequence of the rest of this Licence.
|
||
|
|
||
|
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain
|
||
|
countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright
|
||
|
holder who places the Library under this Licence may add an explicit
|
||
|
geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
|
||
|
distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such
|
||
|
case, this Licence incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this
|
||
|
Licence.
|
||
|
|
||
|
13. IUPAC and the InChI Trust Limited may publish revised and/or new versions of
|
||
|
the IUPAC/InChI Trust Licence for the International Chemical Identifier (InChI)
|
||
|
Software from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the
|
||
|
present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies
|
||
|
a version number of this Licence which applied to it and "any later version",
|
||
|
you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version
|
||
|
or of any later version published by IUPAC and the InChI Trust Limited.
|
||
|
|
||
|
14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs
|
||
|
whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author
|
||
|
to ask for permission.
|
||
|
|
||
|
15. If you modify the Library in any way whatsoever, the output from any such
|
||
|
modified Library may not be referred to as 'InChI' or any similar name. Any
|
||
|
attempt to refer to such output as 'InChI' will automatically terminate your
|
||
|
rights under this Licence.
|
||
|
|
||
|
NO WARRANTY
|
||
|
|
||
|
15. Because the Library is licensed free of charge, there is no warranty for the
|
||
|
Library, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Except when otherwise stated
|
||
|
in writing the copyright holders and other parties provide the Library "as is"
|
||
|
without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not
|
||
|
limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a
|
||
|
particular purpose. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the
|
||
|
Library is with you. Should the Library prove defective, you assume the cost of
|
||
|
all necessary servicing, repair or correction.
|
||
|
|
||
|
16. In no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing will
|
||
|
any copyright holder, or any party who may modify and/or redistribute the
|
||
|
Library as permitted above, be liable to you for damages, including any general,
|
||
|
special, incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability
|
||
|
to use the Library (including but not limited to loss of data or data being
|
||
|
rendered inaccurate or losses sustained by you or third parties or a failure of
|
||
|
the Library to operate with any other software), even if such holder or other
|
||
|
party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

||
|
|
||
|
