* =====================
* 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
