LICENSE

The following license governs the use of the MATLAB LIBrary for Robust Analysis,
(LIBRA) in academic and educational environments. Commercial use requires a
commercial license from the Author. 

                               ACADEMIC PUBLIC LICENSE (1)

                                       PREAMBLE 

  This license contains the terms and conditions of using the MATLAB LIBrary for
Robust Analysis, hereafter called LIBRA, in a noncommercial settings: at academic
institutions for teaching and research use. This license provides the rights similar
to the GNU General Public License, yet it retains the possibility for LIBRA authors
to financially support the development by selling commercial licenses. In fact, if
you intend to use LIBRA in a "for-profit" environment, where research is conducted to
develop or enhance a product, or it is used in a commercial service offering, you
need to obtain a commercial license for LIBRA which is available from the Author. 
 
  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 LIBRA in
your work, for teaching or research. This license guarantees that LIBRA will remain
available free of charge for nonprofit use.  

  The precise terms and conditions for using, copying, distribution and modification
follow.

        TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 
 

  "Program" means a copy of LIBRA, 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 and design of commercial
hardware or software networking products, 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 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 as 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.  
 
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose
distribution conditions are different, write to the Author to ask for permission. 
 
                                      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.
