7+ Preamble
8+
9+ This license contains the terms and conditions of using OMNeT++ in
10+ noncommercial settings: at academic institutions for teaching and research
11+ use and for personal or educational purposes. You will find that this
12+ license provides noncommercial users of OMNeT++ with rights that are
13+ similar to the well-known GNU General Public License, yet it retains the
14+ possibility for OMNeT++ authors to financially support the development by
15+ selling commercial licenses. In fact, if you intend to use OMNeT++ in a
16+ "for-profit" environment, where research is conducted to develop or enhance
17+ a product, is used in a commercial service offering, or when an entity uses
18+ OMNeT++ to participate in government-funded, EU-funded, military or similar
19+ research projects, then you need to obtain a commercial license (OMNEST).
20+ In that case, or if you are unsure, please visit www.omnest.com to inquire about
21+ commercial licenses.
22+
23+ What are the rights given to noncommercial users? Similarly to GPL, you
24+ have the right to use the software, to distribute copies, to receive source
25+ code, to change the software and distribute your modifications or the
26+ modified software. Also similarly to the GPL, if you distribute verbatim or
27+ modified copies of this software, they must be distributed under this
28+ license.
29+
30+ By modeling the GPL, this license guarantees that you're safe when using
31+ OMNeT++ in your work, for teaching or research. This license guarantees
32+ that OMNeT++ will remain available free of charge for nonprofit use. You
33+ can modify OMNeT++ to your purposes, and you can also share your modifications.
34+ Even in the unlikely case of the authors abandoning OMNeT++ entirely, this
35+ license permits anyone to continue developing it from the last release, and
36+ to create further releases under this license.
37+
38+ We believe that the combination of noncommercial open-source and commercial
39+ licensing will be beneficial for the whole user community, because income from
40+ commercial licenses will enable faster development and a higher level of
41+ software quality, while further enjoying the informal, open communication
42+ and collaboration channels of open source development.
43+
44+ The precise terms and conditions for using, copying, distribution and
45+ modification follow.

50+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
51+
52+ 0. Definitions
53+
54+ "Program" means a copy of OMNeT++, which is said to be distributed under
55+ this Academic Public License.
56+
57+ "Work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work
58+ under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a
59+ portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into
60+ another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation
61+ in the term "modification".)
62+
63+ "Using the Program" means any act of creating executables that contain or
64+ directly use libraries that are part of the Program, running any of the
65+ tools that are part of the Program, or creating works based on the Program.
66+
67+ Each licensee is addressed as "you".
68+
69+ 1. Permission is hereby granted to use the Program free of charge for
70+ noncommercial purposes, including teaching and academic research at
71+ universities, colleges and other educational institutions and personal
72+ non-profit purposes. For using the Program for commercial purposes,
73+ including but not restricted to consulting activities, design of commercial
74+ hardware or software networking products, and joint research with a
75+ commercial entity, government-funded, EU-funded, military or similar
76+ research projects, you have to contact the author. Or you can also visit www.omnest.com
77+ for an appropriate license. Permission is also granted to use the Program
78+ for a reasonably limited period of time for the purpose of evaluating its
79+ usefulness for a particular purpose.
80+
81+ 2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
82+ source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
83+ conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
84+ copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
85+ notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
86+ and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
87+ along with the Program.
88+
89+ 3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
90+ of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
91+ distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 2
92+ above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
93+
94+ a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
95+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
96+
97+ b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
98+ whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
99+ part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
100+ parties under the terms of this License.
101+
102+ These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
103+ identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
104+ and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
105+ themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
106+ sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
107+ distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
108+ on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
109+ this License, whose regulations for other licensees extend to the
110+ entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
111+ (If the same, independent sections are distributed as part of a package
112+ that is otherwise reliant on, or is based on the Program, then the
113+ distribution of the whole package, including but not restricted to the
114+ independent section, must be on the unmodified terms of this License,
115+ regadless of who the author of the included sections was.)
116+
117+ Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
118+ your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
119+ exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
120+ collective works based or reliant on the Program.
121+
122+ In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
123+ with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
124+ storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
125+ the scope of this License.
126+
127+ 4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
128+ under Section 3) in object code or executable form under the terms of
129+ Sections 2 and 3 above provided that you also do one of the following:
130+
131+ a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
132+ source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
133+ 2 and 3 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
134+
135+ b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
136+ years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
137+ cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
138+ machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
139+ distributed under the terms of Sections 2 and 3 above on a medium
140+ customarily used for software interchange; or,
141+
142+ c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
143+ to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
144+ allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received
145+ the program in object code or executable form with such an offer,
146+ in accord with Subsection b) above.)
147+
148+ The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
149+ making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
150+ code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
151+ associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
152+ control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
153+ special exception, the source code distributed need not include
154+ anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
155+ form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
156+ operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
157+ itself accompanies the executable.
158+
159+ If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
160+ access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
161+ access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
162+ distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
163+ compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
164+
165+ 5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
166+ except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
167+ otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
168+ void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
169+ However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
170+ this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
171+ parties remain in full compliance.
172+
173+ 6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
174+ signed it. Nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute
175+ the Program or its derivative works; law prohibits these actions
176+ if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing
177+ the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your
178+ acceptance of this License and all its terms and conditions for copying,
179+ distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it, to do so.
180+
181+ 7. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
182+ Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
183+ original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
184+ these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
185+ restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
186+ You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
187+ this License.
188+
189+ 8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
190+ infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
191+ conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
192+ otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
193+ excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
194+ distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
195+ License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
196+ may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
197+ license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
198+ all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
199+ the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
200+ refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
201+
202+ If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
203+ any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
204+ apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
205+ circumstances.
206+
207+ 9. If the distribution and/or use of the Program are restricted in
208+ certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
209+ original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
210+ may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
211+ those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
212+ countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
213+ the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
214+
215+ NO WARRANTY
216+
217+ 10. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
218+ FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
219+ OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
220+ PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
221+ OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
222+ MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
223+ TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
224+ PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
225+ REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
226+
227+ 11. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED ON IN WRITING
228+ WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
229+ REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
230+ INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
231+ OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
232+ TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
233+ YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
234+ PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
235+ POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
236+
237+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
