Downloading SAGE2 beta-release
Before downloading the SAGE beta-release software, you have to agree to the SAGE2 license agreement. Please read through and agree at the bottom:
University of Illinois at Chicago’s Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL)
and University of Hawai’i at Manoa’s Laboratory for Advanced Visualization and
Applications (LAVA)SAGE2(tm) Software License Agreement
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
Electronic Visualization Laboratory (“EVL”) in the University of Illinois at
Chicago’s Computer Science Department, and the Board of Trustees of the
University of Hawai’i (“Hawai’i”), on behalf of the Laboratory for Advanced
Visualization and Applications (“LAVA”) in the University of Hawai’i at Manoa’s
Department of Information and Computer Sciences, will provide the SAGE2(tm)
(“SAGE2(tm)”) software 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 that contain the
actual program commands that are compiled to form the Executable Code.1. The Software is intellectual property owned by Illinois and Hawai’i, and all
right, title and interest, including copyright, remain with Illinois and
Hawai’i. Illinois and Hawai’i grant, 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 complementary
works that interoperate with the Software, directing others to the EVL 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 and Hawai’i. 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 SAGE2(tm) middleware developed by the Electronic Visualization
Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the Laboratory for
Advanced Visualization and Applications at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa.”
Any other distribution of the Software or any derivative work requires a
separate license with Illinois. Licensee may contact the Office of Technology
Management at the University of Illinois of Chicago (otm@uic.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 AND HAWAI’I MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS AND
EXTEND 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 ILLINOIS AND HAWAI’I 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 and
Hawai’i. 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 and Hawai’i 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:
“SAGE2(tm) middleware was developed by the Electronic Visualization Laboratory
at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the Laboratory for Advanced
Visualization and Applications at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa.”
Electronic documents will include a direct link to the official SAGE2(tm) page
at http://www.sagecommons.org.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 the Office of Technology Management at the
University of Illinois at Chicago (otm@uic.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 SAGE2(tm), any possession, use or sublicense of the Software
by or to the United States government shall be subject to such required
restrictions.9. SAGE2(tm) middleware is being distributed as a research and teaching tool and
as such, EVL and LAVA encourage 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 SAGE2(tm) Software” before Illinois can accept it (contact otm@uic.edu
for a copy).UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED
