+**********************************************************************
+
+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.
+
+If you have  any  questions regarding this  license  agreement, please

+	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.
