  "text": "Siesta ACADEMIC LICENCE for INDIVIDUALS\n\nMotivation and Preamble\n\nThe Siesta program has been devised for its general use in research\nwithin the academic community. Some conditions have been defined for\nthe use, distribution, and modification of Siesta, which the authors\nconsider fair and within the common fair practices in the academic\ncommunity.\n\n1. Definitions\n\n\"The Authors\" are:\n\n    * Emilio Artacho, University of Cambridge, and IkerBasque and\n    CIC-Nanogune, San Sebasti\u00e1n * Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Cela,\n    Barcelona Supercomputing Center * Julian Gale, Curtin University\n    of Technology, Perth * Alberto Garc\u00eda, ICMAB-CSIC, Barcelona *\n    Javier Junquera, Universidad de Cantabria, Santander * Pablo\n    Ordej\u00f3n, CIN2-CSIC, Barcelona * Daniel S\u00e1nchez-Portal, Centro\n    de F\u00edsica de Materiales, CSIC-UPV/EHU, San Sebasti\u00e1n * \n    Jos\u00e9 M. Soler, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid\n\nAlthough we, the Authors, acknowledge that a limited number of\nauxiliary subroutines were written by (or are based on previous\nsubroutines written by) other authors consider that the implementation\nof all the basic algorithms of the Siesta program is ours.\n\nThe Siesta team (\"the Developers\") are the Authors and:\n\n    * Richard M. Martin, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign\n\n\"The Copyright-Holder\" is the set of Authors.\n\nThe valid distributors of the Siesta package (\"The Distributors\") are\nthe Developers as specified above.\n\n\"The Siesta package\" is the suite of software, including the Siesta\ncode itself, but also all other software, documentation, scripts, and\nancillary support material distributed as a single entity. This\nLicence covers the entirety of said data.\n\nThe Licensee is the person (never an institution) to whom the Siesta\npackage is distributed (under the terms of this Licence) by the\nDistributors; they are bound by this agreement.\n\n2. NO WARRANTY\n\nThere is no warranty for any part of the Siesta package. The Siesta\npackage is provided by the Distributors \"as-is\" without warranty of\nany kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the\nimplied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular\npurpose. In no event shall the Distributors be liable for any direct,\nindirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages\n(including, but not limited to, procurement of substitute goods or\nservices; loss of use, data, or profits; or business interruption)\nhowever caused and on any theory of liability, whether in contract,\nstrict liability, or tort (including negligence or otherwise) arising\nin any way out of the use of this software, even if advised of the\npossibility of such damage. The entire risk as to the quality or\nperformance of the program, or any action the Licensee may take based\non the output of any part of the Siesta package, is with the Licensee.\n\n3. Limitation of Usage\n\nThe use of the Siesta package under the present Licence is restricted\nsolely to members of academic institutions (including universities and\nnon-military public research laboratories) and to academic purposes,\ni.e., leading to open publication of results, with neither withhold of\ninformation nor intentional delay in publication. Notwithstanding\nthese general definitions, the Authors reserve the exclusive right to\ndetermine what purposes and persons are elegible for using the\nSiesta package under this Licence, and to withhold the right to use\nthe software where they are not satisfied that either condition is\nfulfilled.\n\nThe Licensee is hereby provided with a non-exclusive, royalty-free\nright to use any part of the Siesta package, and to display, publish,\nperform, or otherwise use results obtained by use of the Siesta\npackage in any form, subject to the restriction that in any paper or\nother academic publication containing results wholly or partially\nderived from the results of use of the Siesta package, the following\npapers must be cited in the normal manner:\n\n   1. Self-consistent order-N density-functional calculations for very\n   large systems, P. Ordej\u00f3n, E. Artacho and J. M. Soler, Phys. Rev. B\n   (Rapid Comm.) 53, R10441 (1996).  \n   \n   2. The Siesta method for ab initio order-N materials simulation,\n   Jos\u00e9 M. Soler, Emilio Artacho, Julian D. Gale, Alberto Garc\u00eda,\n   Javier Junquera, Pablo Ordej\u00f3n and Daniel S\u00e1nchez-Portal, J. Phys.:\n   Condens. Matter 14, 2745 (2002).\n\nOther papers relevant to the Siesta package and method should be cited\nas best scientific practice dictates.\n\nLicensees are recommended to send reference to the Developers of any\npublication containing results wholly or partially derived from the\nresults of use of the Siesta package.\n\nThe above-mentioned right to use the code is extensive to the members\nof the research group of the Licensee as long as the use is in\ncollaboration with the Licensee leading to co-authored publication(s).\n\n4. Support\n\nThe present Licence does not imply support services of any kind to the\nLicensee by the Distributors, including, but not limited to,\ninstallation, compilation and use of the software in the package.\n\n5. Modification\n\nLicensees are permitted to modify Siesta for their own private use; in\nany paper containing results wholly or partially derived from the use\nof a modified version of Siesta, the authors are required to state\nthat a privately modified version of Siesta is used, and satisfy the\nconditions of use stated above.\n\nThe Developers encourage Licensees to submit their modifications of\nthe Siesta package to them, so that the Siesta package does not fork,\nand furthermore so that the package can be improved for all\nusers. Licensees can thereby benefit from the ulterior developments of\nSiesta.\n\nTo this end, the Developers wish to encourage Licensees to make any\nmodifications to the Siesta package in as modular a fashion as\npossible: for example, interacting via files, or via well-defined\ninterface calls. This permits maintenance of these modifications as a\nseparate entity in many cases, and may allow their separation from\nSiesta and distribution as a separate piece of software: in that case,\nsuch software is not subject to this Licence, and the authors of the\nseparate software are free to choose any licensing terms they desire.\n\nHowever, if a given modification must be incorporated directly into\nthe Siesta package, the author(s) of any such modifications must\nprovide a perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable license to the \nCopyright-Holder, to further modify their modifications \n(\"the Contributed Code\") as may prove necessary for the\nfuture development of Siesta, and to distribute the Contributed Code\n(in its original or any later modified form) as part of the Siesta\npackage.\n\nThe Developers, in the interests of maintaining the efficiency of the\nSiesta package and the modularity of its code base, actively encourage\nall those considering modifications to the Siesta package to discuss\ntheir planned modifications with the Developers beforehand.\n\n6. Redistribution\n\nThe authors reserve the exclusive right to distribute the Siesta\npackage. Licensees have no right to distribute the Siesta package, a\nmodified or alternative version thereof, or any other program making\ndirect use of parts of the Siesta package, without the prior written\nconsent of the Distributors.\n\n7. All Other Rights\n\nAll other rights not explicitly mentioned in this document are\nreserved. In particular, the Authors reserve all rights to resolve any\nand all conflicts arising in the development and distribution policies\nof the Siesta package.\n\nWithout accepting the Licence, a prospective Licensee does not have the\nright to use or modify the Siesta package.\n\nEveryone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this\nLicence document, but changing it is not permitted."
