| 13 | +I. Preamble |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +Science thrives on openness. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +In modern science, it is often infeasible to replicate claims without |
| 18 | +access to the software underlying those claims. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Let's all be honest: when scientists write code, aesthetics and |
| 21 | +software engineering principles take a back seat to having running, |
| 22 | +working code before a deadline. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +So, let's release the ugly. And, let's be proud of that. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +II. Definitions |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +1. "This License" refers to version 0 beta 1 of the Community |
| 30 | + Research and Academic Programming License (the CRAPL). |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +2. "The Program" refers to the medley of source code, shell scripts, |
| 33 | + executables, objects, libraries and build files supplied to You, |
| 34 | + or these files as modified by You. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | + [Any appearance of design in the Program is purely coincidental and |
| 37 | + should not in any way be mistaken for evidence of thoughtful |
| 38 | + software construction.] |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +3. "You" refers to the person or persons brave and daft enough to use |
| 41 | + the Program. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +4. "The Documentation" refers to the Program. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +5. "The Author" probably refers to the caffeine-addled graduate |
| 46 | + student that got the Program to work moments before a submission |
| 47 | + deadline. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +III. Terms |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +1. By reading this sentence, You have agreed to the terms and |
| 53 | + conditions of this License. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +2. If the Program shows any evidence of having been properly tested |
| 56 | + or verified, You will disregard this evidence. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +3. You agree to hold the Author free from shame, embarrassment or |
| 59 | + ridicule for any hacks, kludges or leaps of faith found within the |
| 60 | + Program. |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +4. You recognize that any request for support for the Program will be |
| 63 | + discarded with extreme prejudice. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +5. The Author reserves all rights to the Program, except for any |
| 66 | + rights granted under any additional licenses attached to the |
| 67 | + Program. |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +IV. Permissions |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +1. You are permitted to use the Program to validate published |
| 73 | + scientific claims. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +2. You are permitted to use the Program to validate scientific claims |
| 76 | + submitted for peer review, under the condition that You keep |
| 77 | + modifications to the Program confidential until those claims have |
| 78 | + been published. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +3. You are permitted to use and/or modify the Program for the |
| 81 | + validation of novel scientific claims if You make a good-faith |
| 82 | + attempt to notify the Author of Your work and Your claims prior to |
| 83 | + submission for publication. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +4. If You publicly release any claims or data that were supported or |
| 86 | + generated by the Program or a modification thereof, in whole or in |
| 87 | + part, You will release any inputs supplied to the Program and any |
| 88 | + modifications You made to the Progam. This License will be in |
| 89 | + effect for the modified program. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +V. Disclaimer of Warranty |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY |
| 95 | +APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT |
| 96 | +HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT |
| 97 | +WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT |
| 98 | +LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR |
| 99 | +A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND |
| 100 | +PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE |
| 101 | +DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR |
| 102 | +CORRECTION. |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +VI. Limitation of Liability |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING |
| 108 | +WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR |
| 109 | +CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, |
| 110 | +INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES |
| 111 | +ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT |
| 112 | +NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR |
| 113 | +LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM |
| 114 | +TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER |
| 115 | +PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
