+UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
+VISUAL MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
+
+Upon execution of this Agreement by the party identified below ("Licensee"), 
+The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois  ("Illinois"), on behalf 
+of The Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group ("TCBG") in the Beckman 
+Institute, will provide the Visual Molecular Dynamics ("VMD") software in 
+ExecutableCode and/or Source Code form ("Software") to Licensee, subject to 
+the following terms and conditions. For purposes of this Agreement, 
+Executable Code is the compiled code, which is ready to run on Licensee's
+computer. Source code consists of a set of files which contain the actual 
+program commands that are compiled to form the Executable Code.
+
+1. The Software is intellectual property owned by Illinois, and all right, 
+title and interest, including copyright, remain with Illinois.  Illinois 
+grants, and Licensee hereby accepts, a restricted, non-exclusive, 
+non-transferable license to use the Software for academic, research and 
+internal business purposes only, e.g. not for commercial use (see Clause 7 
+below), without a fee.
+
+2. Licensee may, at its own expense, create and freely distribute 
+complimentary works that interoperate with the Software, directing others to 
+the TCBG server to license and obtain the Software itself. Licensee may, at 
+its own expense, modify the Software to make derivative works.  Except as 
+explicitly provided below, this License shall apply to any derivative work 
+as it does to the original Software distributed by Illinois.  Any derivative 
+work should be clearly marked and renamed to notify users that it is a 
+modified version and not the original Software distributed by Illinois.  
+Licensee agrees to reproduce the copyright notice and other proprietary 
+markings on any derivative work and to include in the documentation of such 
+work the acknowledgement:
+
+ "This software includes code developed by the Theoretical and Computational 
+  Biophysics Group in the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and 
+  Technology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign."
+
+Licensee may redistribute without restriction works with up to 1/2 of their 
+non-comment source code derived from at most 1/10 of the non-comment source 
+code developed by Illinois and contained in the Software, provided that the 
+above directions for notice and acknowledgement are observed.  Any other 
+distribution of the Software or any derivative work requires a separate 
+license with Illinois.  Licensee may contact Illinois (vmd@ks.uiuc.edu) to 
+negotiate an appropriate license for such distribution.
+
+3. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED 
+"AS IS" AND ILLINOIS MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AND EXTENDS NO WARRANTIES OF 
+ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES 
+OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR THAT THE USE OF 
+THE SOFTWARE WILL NOT INFRINGE ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK, OR OTHER RIGHTS. 
+LICENSEE ASSUMES THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE OF THE 
+SOFTWARE AND/OR ASSOCIATED MATERIALS.  LICENSEE AGREES THAT UNIVERSITY SHALL 
+NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT,INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR INCIDENTAL 
+DAMAGES WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM BY LICENSEE OR ANY THIRD PARTY ON ACCOUNT 
+OF OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR USE OF THE SOFTWARE AND/OR ASSOCIATED 
+MATERIALS.
+
+4. Licensee understands the Software is proprietary to Illinois. Licensee  
+agrees to take all reasonable steps to insure that the Softwareis  
+protected and secured from unauthorized disclosure, use, or release and  
+will treat it with at least the same level of care as Licensee would use to  
+protect and secure its own proprietary computer programs and/or information, 
+but using no less than a reasonable standard of care.  Licensee agrees to 
+provide the Software only to any other person or entity who has registered 
+with Illinois. If licensee is not registering as an individual but as an 
+institution or corporation each member of the institution or corporation 
+who has access to or uses Software must agree to and abide by the terms 
+of this license. If Licensee becomes aware of any unauthorized licensing, 
+copying or use of the Software, Licensee shall promptly notify Illinois 
+in writing. Licensee expressly agrees to use the Software only in the 
+manner and for the specific uses authorized in this Agreement.
+
+5. By using or copying this Software, Licensee agrees to abide by the  
+copyright law and all other applicable laws of the U.S. including, but not  
+limited to, export control laws and the terms of this license. Illinois  
+shall have the right to terminate this license immediately by written  
+notice upon Licensee's breach of, or non-compliance with, any
+terms of the license. Licensee may be held legally responsible for any  
+copyright infringement that is caused or encouraged by its failure to  
+abideby the terms of this license. Upon termination, Licensee agrees to  
+destroyall copies of the Software in its possession and to verify such  
+destruction in writing.
+
+6. The user agrees that any reports or published results obtained with  
+the Software will acknowledge its use by the appropriate citation as  
+follows:
+
+"VMD was developed by the Theoretical and Computational Biophysics Group 
+ in the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the 
+ University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign."
+
+Any published work which utilizes VMD shall include the following reference:
+"Humphrey, W., Dalke, A. and Schulten, K., `VMD -Visual Molecular   
+Dynamics', J. Molecular Graphics, 1996, vol. 14, pp. 33-38."
+
+Electronic documents will include a direct link to the official VMD page  
+at  http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/
+
+7. Commercial use of the Software, or derivative works based thereon,  
+REQUIRES A COMMERCIAL LICENSE.  Should Licensee wish to make commercial 
+use of the Software, Licensee will contact Illinois (vmd@ks.uiuc.edu) to 
+negotiate an appropriate license for such use. Commercial use includes: 
+(1) integration of all or part of the Software into a product for sale, 
+lease or license by or on behalf of Licensee to third parties, or 
+(2) distribution of the Software to third parties that need it to 
+commercialize product sold or licensed by or on behalf of Licensee.
+
+8. Government Rights. Because substantial governmental funds have been  
+used in the development of VMD, any possession, use or sublicense of the  
+Software by or to the United States government shall be subject to such  
+required restrictions.
+
+9. VMD is being distributed as a research and teaching tool and as  
+such, TCBG encourages contributions from users of the code that might, at  
+Illinois' sole discretion, be used or incorporated to make the basic  
+operating framework of the Software a more stable, flexible, and/or useful  
+product.  Licensees who contribute their code to become an internal  
+portion of the Software agree that such code may be distributed by  
+Illinois under the terms of this License and may be required to sign an  
+"Agreement Regarding Contributory Code for VMD Software" before Illinois  
+can accept it (contact vmd@ks.uiuc.edu for a copy).
+
+UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED.
