Academic License Agreement Preface

We understand that folks don’t want to read license agreements or legaleze. You should read it anyway, but in case you don’t, here is some plain ol’ English. OpenEye Academic Licenses are for you if your intent is to:

• run program
• analyze results
• publish results
• move on to the next project

However, if you plan to use OpenEye software under an academic license in one of the following ways, you should talk to us first. The following uses may be permitted under the academic license, but require more thorough disclosure:

• develop software methods or algorithms that are substantially similar to an OpenEye product
• obtain the software solely for the purpose of publishing a software comparison study
• make money from the use of the software (either IP generation or software services)
• offer publicly available databases created from the use of OpenEye software
• use the software as part of a web site

If your intended use falls into one of these categories, it doesn’t mean that you cannot have licenses. It means that you need to contact us first by writing to OpenEye Business prior to applying for a license. We will attempt to accommodate all requests. Failure to contact us or fully disclose potentially unacceptable uses of the software as outlined above may result in software licenses being revoked.
