2.      Campus is licensed to copy and distribute the Software for use:

c.      On the home computers of all Authorized Users (as defined in b), including students.
d.      This agreement does not permit the use of the Software at federally funded research laboratories or other organizations where the primary mission is not the direct teaching of students.  If, however, such a facility is used by Authorized Users in credit-bearing courses, the Software may be used at those facilities, ONLY by Authorized Users, and ONLY for teaching/learning purposes.

3.      Authorized users may not:
a.      distribute the Software to individuals who are not authorized users.
b.      disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer the Software.

4.       webMathematica special terms:
a.      Licenses the user to incorporate some of the power of Mathematica into a website available to the general public by linking an interface to a webMathematica kernel.
b.      Campus may not deliver Mathematica itself or its overall functionality to the general public on a website or through the use of multiple sites.
c.      Any website created using webMathematica may not replicate the “look and feel” of Mathematica.
d.      The use of webMathematica under this agreement may not be for commercial gain
e.      Campus must provide a Mathematica web link on any site it creates through the use of webMathematica
f.        Campus must inform Mathematica of the URL of any website(s) using webMathematica, together with contact information for an individual responsible for the website(s).
g.      Any campus responsible for a website that does not conform with these terms may lose its right to use webMathematica.

5.       The Software will be provided to the License Manager identified by the campus.  The License Manager will be responsible for distributing the software to the campus’s authorized users.
a.      Software is provided with passwords that are valid for 12 months.

d.      Faculty desiring Software for home use may contact Mathematica directly to request the Software.  They should use their campus email address in making the request so that Mathematica may easily verify their affiliation with a participating campus.
e.      Documentation may not be duplicated.  It may be purchased from the vendor for approximately $50 per kit.  However, electronic documentation is provided with the software in the form of the Help utility and is therefore included with each copy of the software distributed.
