18* SOFA Software License
19* =====================
20*
21* NOTICE TO USER:
22*
23* BY USING THIS SOFTWARE YOU ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING SIX TERMS AND
24* CONDITIONS WHICH APPLY TO ITS USE.
25*
26* 1. The Software is owned by the IAU SOFA Board ("SOFA").
27*
28* 2. Permission is granted to anyone to use the SOFA software for any
29* purpose, including commercial applications, free of charge and
30* without payment of royalties, subject to the conditions and
31* restrictions listed below.
32*
33* 3. You (the user) may copy and distribute SOFA source code to others,
34* and use and adapt its code and algorithms in your own software,
35* on a world-wide, royalty-free basis. That portion of your
36* distribution that does not consist of intact and unchanged copies
37* of SOFA source code files is a "derived work" that must comply
38* with the following requirements:
39*
40* a) Your work shall be marked or carry a statement that it
41* (i) uses routines and computations derived by you from
42* software provided by SOFA under license to you; and
43* (ii) does not itself constitute software provided by and/or
44* endorsed by SOFA.
45*
46* b) The source code of your derived work must contain descriptions
47* of how the derived work is based upon, contains and/or differs
48* from the original SOFA software.
49*
50* c) The names of all routines in your derived work shall not
51* include the prefix "iau" or "sofa" or trivial modifications
52* thereof such as changes of case.
53*
54* d) The origin of the SOFA components of your derived work must
55* not be misrepresented; you must not claim that you wrote the
56* original software, nor file a patent application for SOFA
57* software or algorithms embedded in the SOFA software.
58*
59* e) These requirements must be reproduced intact in any source
60* distribution and shall apply to anyone to whom you have
61* granted a further right to modify the source code of your
62* derived work.
63*
64* Note that, as originally distributed, the SOFA software is
65* intended to be a definitive implementation of the IAU standards,
66* and consequently third-party modifications are discouraged. All
67* variations, no matter how minor, must be explicitly marked as
68* such, as explained above.
69*
70* 4. You shall not cause the SOFA software to be brought into
71* disrepute, either by misuse, or use for inappropriate tasks, or
72* by inappropriate modification.
73*
74* 5. The SOFA software is provided "as is" and SOFA makes no warranty
75* as to its use or performance. SOFA does not and cannot warrant
76* the performance or results which the user may obtain by using the
77* SOFA software. SOFA makes no warranties, express or implied, as
78* to non-infringement of third party rights, merchantability, or
79* fitness for any particular purpose. In no event will SOFA be
80* liable to the user for any consequential, incidental, or special
81* damages, including any lost profits or lost savings, even if a
82* SOFA representative has been advised of such damages, or for any
83* claim by any third party.
84*
85* 6. The provision of any version of the SOFA software under the terms
86* and conditions specified herein does not imply that future
87* versions will also be made available under the same terms and
88* conditions.
89*
90* In any published work or commercial product which uses the SOFA
91* software directly, acknowledgement (see www.iausofa.org) is
92* appreciated.

94* Correspondence concerning SOFA software should be addressed as
