Academic Agreement to Use LSTC Codes at the Ohio Supercomputer Center

The OSC currently has an arrangement with Livermore Software Technology 
Corporation (LSTC) regarding their codes (hereafter called SOFTWARE) that
allows for academic use and commercial use.  Our agreement with LSTC requires
that we make a good-faith effort to inform each individual granted acadmeic
access of the common understandings governing academic usage of SOFTWARE.


This form is the means by which we make this effort and at the same time obtain 
the information we need to monitor access to SOFTWARE.  You should read the 
points below, complete the bottom of this form, and return it to the address 
mentioned below.  You will then be validated for academic use of SOFTWARE.

  The overriding idea is that you are granted academic access for the purpose 
  of conducting scholarly academic research.
    
    This means that you will not use academic access as a means of direct 
    personal monetary gain nor will you use academics access in such a way 
    as to cause direct monetary loss to any private business concern.

    You will not use academic access in connection with research funded by 
    a private business concern or an agency of a state or the federal 
    government with the exception of your OSC allocation and the NSF.

    If you publish the results of the research for which you seek academic 
    access, this publication will be made widely available and the Ohio 
    Supercomputer Center and the use of SOFTWARE will be acknowledged.

    You will not attempt to copy or distrubute the source, object, or 
    executable versions of SOFTWARE.

  You also agree to make a good-faith effort to acquaint students under your 
  direction, coworkers, or others who make use of your OSC account to use 
  SOFTWARE of the content of this agreement.  Ideally each academic user should 
  see and sign a copy of this form.
