Under this shrinkwrap license, our software is licensed by the screen, not by the CPU. You must have a separate license (or unit of a multiple unit license) for each physical screen on which our software is actually used. A workstation screen, an X-terminal, a Windows or Macintosh screen, or an ascii terminal each count as a single screen. You must decide which physical single screen this license applies to, and you must identify that screen to us, on request, by a serial number or other unique identifier. (This is not a "floating" license.)
On a licensed screen, you may use, modify, or incorporate our software into your own computer programs. Incorporated or modified versions of our software still belong to us. However, you may transfer pre-compiled, executable programs incorporating our software to other, unlicensed, screens or computers, providing that the following two conditions hold (i) the programs were first developed, compiled, and successfully run on a licensed screen, and (ii) our software is bound into the programs in such a manner that it cannot be accessed as individual routines and cannot practicably be unbound and used in other programs. Specifically, under this license, your program user must not be able to use our programs as part of a program library or "mix-and-match" workbench.
If you sell or otherwise commercially distribute programs that have our software bound into them (as above), you must additionally (i) notify us in advance of such use and describe the nature of the use, (ii) include our Copyright notice within your machine-readable distribution (you need not display it when your program runs), and (iii) insure that no business relationship is created between us, or the authors of the Numerical Recipes books, and your users.
Otherwise, this license does not authorize you to transfer, publish, disclose, display, or otherwise make available our software in any form (whether source or object code) to other organizations or persons. In particular, you may not put our software on a computer web server or anonymous ftp directory from which it could be downloaded or copied by unlicensed users.
In using our software, you acknowledge and accept this DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY:
OUR SOFTWARE IS FURNISHED "AS IS". WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT OUR SOFTWARE IS FREE OF ERROR, OR IS CONSISTENT WITH ANY PARTICULAR STANDARD OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR THAT IT WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS FOR ANY PARTICULAR APPLICATION. WE ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MATHEMATICAL OR TECHNICAL LIMITATIONS OF THE PROCEDURES AND FUNCTIONS WHICH MAKE UP OUR SOFTWARE. OUR SOFTWARE SHOULD NOT BE RELIED ON FOR SOLVING A PROBLEM WHOSE INCORRECT SOLUTION COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO A PERSON OR LOSS OF PROPERTY. NEITHER NUMERICAL RECIPES SOFTWARE, NOR THE AUTHORS OF THE BOOK "NUMERICAL RECIPES: THE ART OF SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING", NOR THE PUBLISHER OF THAT BOOK SHALL IN ANY EVENT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR GENERAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL, ARISING FROM USE OF OUR SOFTWARE. YOUR USE OF OUR SOFTWARE IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
