This program and object code is being provided to "you", the licensee,
by Thierry Dutoit, the "author", under the following license, which
applies to any program, object code or other work which contains a
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this license. The "program", below, refers to any
such program, object code or work.
By obtaining, using and/or copying this program, you agree that you
have read, understood, and will comply with these terms and
conditions:
Terms and conditions for the distribution of the program
--------------------------------------------------------
This program may not be sold or incorporated into any product which is
sold without prior permission from the author.
When no charge is made, this program may be copied and distributed
freely, provided that this notice is copied and distributed with
it. Each time you redistribute the program (or any work based on the
program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy or distribute the program 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 to this License.
If you wish to incorporate the program into other free programs whose
distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
permission.
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 license, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this license. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
license and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this license would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the program.
Terms and conditions on the use of the program
