MAPPER 2.0 Software License


The MAPPER 2.0 Software License is a legal agreement, governed by the
laws of Switzerland, between an end user (the "Licensee"), either an
individual or an entity, and Dr. Peter Guntert (the "Licensor"). The
program package MAPPER 2.0 (copyright (c) 2002 by Peter Guntert) for
semiautomatic sequence-specific NMR assignment in proteins by global
sequence mapping, comprising all computer programs, source code,
license keys, documentation, example data and other files delivered to
the Licensee, as well as any copies, modifications or derivative works
made by the Licensee, are hereinafter referred to collectively as the
"Software". A  derivative work is any software that contains one or
several parts of the Software in original or modified form. If the
Licensor provides the Licensee with updates of the Software, these
will become part of the Software and will be controlled by this
license. 

 1. The Licensor grants to the Licensee a non-exclusive,
    non-transferable, permanent license to install and use the
    Software on computer systems located at the site of the Licensee's
    organization. However, a violation of any of the clauses of this
    license agreement by the Licensee shall terminate automatically
    and with immediate effect the Licensee's right to install, use or
    store the Software in any form. Use of the Software is restricted
    to the Licensee and to direct collaborators who are members of the
    organization of the Licensee at the site of the Licensee and who
    accept the terms of this license. The Licensee shall neither use
    the Software to produce other software that duplicates
    functionality of the Software nor translate source code of the
    Software into another programming language.

 2. The Licensor retains at all times ownership of the Software
    delivered to the Licensee. Any modifications or derivative works
    based on the Software are considered part of the Software, and
    ownership thereof is retained by the Licensor. All parts of the
    Software must carry the copyright notice, will be controlled by
    this license, and will be promptly destroyed by the Licensee upon
    termination of this license.

 3. The Licensee shall not disclose in any form the Software or any
    modifications or derivative works based on the Software to third
    parties without prior written authorization from the Licensor.

 4. The Licensee agrees that the Software has been developed in
    connection with academic research projects and is provided "as
    is". The Licensor disclaims all warranties with regard to the
    Software or any of its results, including any implied warranties
    of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. In no
    event shall the Licensor be liable for any damages, however
    caused, including, without limitation, any damages arising out of
    the use of the Software, loss of use of the Software, or damage of
    any sort to the Licensee.

 5. The Licensee agrees that any reports or publications of results
    obtained with the Software will acknowledge its use by the
    appropriate literature citation: Guntert, P., Salzmann, M., Braun,
    D. and Wuthrich, K. (2000). Sequence-specific NMR assignment of
    proteins by global fragment mapping with the program MAPPER. J.
