This is a legal agreement between you (either as an individual or as a single entity) and Leo Goodstadt for the Leo Goodstadt Well Control Library ("LGWCL") which includes computer software and electronic documentation. By installing, copying, reverse engineering or otherwise using this software, you agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. If you do not agree to the terms of this agreement, do not install or use the software. You will be entitled to a full refund.
The LGWCL is protected by copyright laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual property laws and treaties. The LGWCL is licensed, not sold.
You are hereby granted the following rights :

used for internal purposes and not republished or redistributed to any third parties.

object code and only in conjunction with and as part of a software application developed
by you that adds significant and primary functionality to LGWCL, (b) indemnify, hold

LGWCL is intended to be sold to programmers for the purpose of producing software products. Programmers using LGWCL are as liable to software theft and abuse as the author. It would therefore be extremely foolish and bad practice, to say the least, to expect any respect for the legal property rights of your software products if you proceed initially by abusing the copyright of Leo Goodstadt. Do not unto others as you have nightmares about others doing unto you on a stormy night in a dark alley with the wind blowing and dustbin lids rattling. The ripper off will be ripped off. Beware of the Software Avenger! |
