I. Preamble
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Science thrives on openness.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In modern science, it is often infeasible to replicate claims without
|
||||||
|
access to the software underlying those claims.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Let's all be honest: when scientists write code, aesthetics and
|
||||||
|
software engineering principles take a back seat to having running,
|
||||||
|
working code before a deadline.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So, let's release the ugly. And, let's be proud of that.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
II. Definitions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. "This License" refers to version 0 beta 1 of the Community
|
||||||
|
Research and Academic Programming License (the CRAPL).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. "The Program" refers to the medley of source code, shell scripts,
|
||||||
|
executables, objects, libraries and build files supplied to You,
|
||||||
|
or these files as modified by You.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[Any appearance of design in the Program is purely coincidental and
|
||||||
|
should not in any way be mistaken for evidence of thoughtful
|
||||||
|
software construction.]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. "You" refers to the person or persons brave and daft enough to use
|
||||||
|
the Program.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. "The Documentation" refers to the Program.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. "The Author" probably refers to the caffeine-addled graduate
|
||||||
|
student that got the Program to work moments before a submission
|
||||||
|
deadline.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
III. Terms
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. By reading this sentence, You have agreed to the terms and
|
||||||
|
conditions of this License.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. If the Program shows any evidence of having been properly tested
|
||||||
|
or verified, You will disregard this evidence.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. You agree to hold the Author free from shame, embarrassment or
|
||||||
|
ridicule for any hacks, kludges or leaps of faith found within the
|
||||||
|
Program.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. You recognize that any request for support for the Program will be
|
||||||
|
discarded with extreme prejudice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
5. The Author reserves all rights to the Program, except for any
|
||||||
|
rights granted under any additional licenses attached to the
|
||||||
|
Program.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
IV. Permissions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. You are permitted to use the Program to validate published
|
||||||
|
scientific claims.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. You are permitted to use the Program to validate scientific claims
|
||||||
|
submitted for peer review, under the condition that You keep
|
||||||
|
modifications to the Program confidential until those claims have
|
||||||
|
been published.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. You are permitted to use and/or modify the Program for the
|
||||||
|
validation of novel scientific claims if You make a good-faith
|
||||||
|
attempt to notify the Author of Your work and Your claims prior to
|
||||||
|
submission for publication.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. If You publicly release any claims or data that were supported or
|
||||||
|
generated by the Program or a modification thereof, in whole or in
|
||||||
|
part, You will release any inputs supplied to the Program and any
|
||||||
|
modifications You made to the Progam. This License will be in
|
||||||
|
effect for the modified program.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
V. Disclaimer of Warranty
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY

|

|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||

IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
|
||||||
|
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR
|
||||||
|
CONVEYS 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
