+Preamble
+
+This license contains the terms and conditions of using Beyondcell in 
+noncommercial settings: at academic institutions for teaching and research use, 
+and at non-profit research organizations. You will find that this license 
+provides noncommercial users of Beyondcell with rights that are similar to the 
+well-known GNU General Public License, yet it retains the possibility for 
+Beyondcell authors to financially support the development by selling commercial 
+licenses. In fact, if you intend to use Beyondcell in a "for-profit" 
+environment, where research is conducted to develop or enhance a product, is 
+used in a commercial service offering, or when a commercial company uses 
+Beyondcell to participate in a research project (for example government-funded 
+or EU-funded research projects), then you need to obtain a commercial license 
+for Beyondcell. In that case, please contact the Author ([email protected]) 
+to inquire about commercial licenses.
+
+What are the rights given to noncommercial users? Similarly to GPL, you have 
+the right to use the software, to distribute copies, to receive source code, to 
+change the software and distribute your modifications or the modified software. 
+Also similarly to the GPL, if you distribute verbatim or modified copies of 
+this software, they must be distributed under this license.
+
+By modeling the GPL, this license guarantees that you're safe when using 
+Beyondcell in your work, for teaching or research. This license guarantees that 
+Beyondcell will remain available free of charge for nonprofit use. You can 
+modify Beyondcell to your purposes, and you can also share your modifications. 
+Even in the unlikely case of the authors abandoning Beyondcell entirely, this 
+license permits anyone to continue developing it from the last release, and to 
+create further releases under this license.
+
+We believe that the combination of noncommercial open-source and commercial 
+licensing will be beneficial for the whole user community, because income from 
+commercial licenses will enable faster development and a higher level of 
+software quality, while further enjoying the informal, open communication and 
+collaboration channels of open source development.
+
+The precise terms and conditions for using, copying, distribution and 
+modification follow.
+
+ACADEMIC PUBLIC LICENSE
+
+TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+0. Definitions
+
+"Program" means a copy of Beyondcell, which is said to be distributed under 
+this Academic Public License.
+
+"Work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work 
+under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion 
+of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another 
+language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term 
+"modification".)
+
+"Using the Program" means any act of creating executables that contain or 
+directly use libraries that are part of the Program, running any of the tools 
+that are part of the Program, or creating works based on the Program.
+
+Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+1. Permission is hereby granted to use the Program free of charge for any 
+noncommercial purpose, including teaching and research at universities, 
+colleges and other educational institutions, research at non-profit research 
+institutions, and personal non-profit purposes. For using the Program for 
+commercial purposes, including but not restricted to consulting activities, 
+design of commercial hardware or software networking products, and a commercial 
+entity participating in research projects, you have to contact the Author for 
+an appropriate license. Permission is also granted to use the Program for a 
+reasonably limited period of time for the purpose of evaluating its usefulness 
+for a particular purpose.
+
+2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as 
+you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and 
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and 
+disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License 
+and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the 
+Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus 
+forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications 
+or work under the terms of Section 2 above, provided that you also meet all of 
+these conditions:
+
+ a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating 
+that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+ b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or 
+in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be 
+licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this 
+License.
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable 
+sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably 
+considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and 
+its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate 
+works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a 
+work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms 
+of this License, whose regulations for other licensees extend to the entire 
+whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. (If the 
+same, independent sections are distributed as part of a package that is 
+otherwise reliant on, or is based on the Program, then the distribution of the 
+whole package, including but not restricted to the independent section, must be 
+on the unmodified terms of this License, regardless of who the author of the 
+included sections was.)
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your 
+rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the 
+right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based or 
+reliant on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the 
+Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of storage or 
+distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this 
+License.
+
+4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under 
+Section 3) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 2 and 
+3 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+ a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source 
+code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 2 and 3 above on a 
+medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+ b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to 
+give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically 
+performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the 
+corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 2 and 
+3 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+ c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to 
+distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for 
+noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code 
+or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b) above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making 
+modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the 
+source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface 
+definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation 
+of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed 
+need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or 
+binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the 
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself 
+accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy 
+from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source 
+code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though 
+third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as 
+expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, 
+sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate 
+your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or 
+rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so 
+long as such parties remain in full compliance.
+
+6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. 
+Nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its 
+derivative works; law prohibits these actions if you do not accept this 
+License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based 
+on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License and all its terms 
+and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works 
+based on it, to do so.
+
+7. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), 
+the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to 
+copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. 
+You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the 
+rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by 
+third parties to this License.
+
+8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent 
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions 
+are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that 
+contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the 
+conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy 
+simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent 
+obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. 
+For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution 
+of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through 
+you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to 
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any 
+particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and 
+the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
+
+9. If the distribution and/or use of the Program are restricted in certain 
+countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original 
+copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit 
+geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that 
+distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such 
+case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of 
+this License.
+
+NO WARRANTY
+
+10. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR 
+THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE 
+STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE 
+PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, 
+INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND 
+FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND 
+PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU 
+ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+11. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED ON IN WRITING WILL 
+ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE 
+PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY 
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR 
+INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA 
+BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A 
+FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER 
+OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+NOTE In case the above text differs from the license file in the source 
+distribution, the latter is the valid one.
