+**********************************************************************
+
+SNNS is (Copyright) 1990-95 University of Stuttgart, Institute for
+Parallel and Distributed High Performance Systems (IPVR),
+Breitwiesenstr. 20-22, D-70565 Stuttgart, Fed. Rep. of Germany and
+(Copyright) 1996-98 University of Tuebingen, Wilhelm-Schickard
+Institute for Computer Science, Koestlinstr. 6, D-72074 Tuebingen.
+
+SNNS is distributed by the University of Tuebingen as `Free Software'
+in a licensing agreement similar in some aspects to the GNU General
+Public License. There are a number of important differences, however,
+regarding modifications and distribution of SNNS to third parties.
+Note also that SNNS is not part of the GNU software nor is any of its
+authors connected with the Free Software Foundation. We only share
+some common beliefs about software distribution. Note further that
+SNNS is NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN.
+
+The SNNS License is designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
+give away verbatim copies of SNNS, that you receive source code or can
+get it if you want it and that you can change the software for your
+personal use; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+We protect your and our rights with two steps: (1) copyright the
+software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
+permission to copy and distribute the unmodified software or modify it
+for your own purpose.
+
+In contrast to the GNU license we do not allow modified copies of our
+software to be distributed. You may, however, distribute your
+modifications as separate files (e.g. patch files) along with our
+unmodified SNNS software. We encourage users to send changes and
+improvements which would benefit many other users to us so that all
+users may receive these improvements in a later version. The
+restriction not to distribute modified copies is also useful to
+prevent bug reports from someone else's modifications.
+
+Also, for our protection, we want to make certain that everyone
+understands that there is NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND for the SNNS
+software.

+ SNNS License Agreement
+**********************************************************************
+
+1. This License Agreement applies to the SNNS program and all
+accompanying programs and files that are distributed with a notice
+placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the
+terms of the SNNS License. ``SNNS'', below, refers to any such
+program or work, and a ``work based on SNNS'' means either SNNS or any
+work containing SNNS or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
+modifications. Each licensee is addressed as ``you''.
+
+2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of SNNS'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 SNNS a copy of this license along with SNNS.
+
+3. You may modify your copy or copies of SNNS or any portion of it
+only for your own use. You may not distribute modified copies of SNNS
+You may, however, distribute your modifications as separate files (e.
+patch files) along with the unmodified SNNS software. We also
+encourage users to send changes and improvements which would benefit
+many other users to us so that all users may receive these
+improvements in a later version. The restriction not to distribute
+modified copies is also useful to prevent bug reports from someone
+else's modifications.
+
+4. If you distribute copies of SNNS you may not charge anything except
+the cost for the media and a fair estimate of the costs of computer
+time or network time directly attributable to the copying.
+
+5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer SNNS
+except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer SNNS is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use SNNS under
+this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights to
+use copies, from you under this License will not have their licenses
+terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
+
+6. By copying, distributing or modifying SNNS (or any work based on
+SNNS) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so, and all
+its terms and conditions.
+
+7. Each time you redistribute SNNS (or any work based on SNNS), the
+recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor
+to copy, distribute or modify SNNS subject to these terms and
+conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the
+recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+
+8. Incorporation of SNNS or parts of it in commercial programs
+requires a special agreement between the copyright holder and the
+Licensee in writing and ususally involves the payment of license fees.
+If you want to incorporate SNNS or parts of it in commercial programs
+write to the author about further details.
+
+9. Because SNNS is licensed free of charge, there is no warranty for
+SNNS, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The copyright holders
+and/or other parties provide SNNS ``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 SNNS is
+with you. Should the program prove defective, you assume the cost of
+all necessary servicing, repair or correction.
+
+10. In no event will any copyright holder, or any other party who may
+redistribute SNNS 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 SNNS (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 SNNS to operate with
+any other programs), even if such holder or other party has been
+advised of the possibility of such damages.
