There are two sections of the license that are contradictory, 2.1 and 2.2. Both place restrictions on your use of the software. According to 2.1 you can distribute CCP4 software to third parties, but according to 2.2 you can't. 2.3 limits the license to academic use. None of this is compliant with the GPL, and the inclusion of GPL as appendixes to the CCP4 license is incomprehensible at best, but could be viewed as fraudulent. -- Morten CCP4bb navigationCCP4bb <-- 2007 <-- July 2007 <-- 03 July 2007 |
