Windows Research Kernel Source Code License
This license governs use of the accompanying software, and your use of
the software constitutes acceptance of this license. Your license rights
below are subject to the restrictions in the license, and are available
to you only so long as you remain eligible due to your affiliation with
an accredited educational institution. (For more details on eligibility
see http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sharedsource/Licensing/WindowsAcademic.mspx)
You may use and modify this software for any non-commercial purpose within
your educational institution, including making a reasonable number of copies.
Teaching, academic research, and personal experimentation are examples
of purposes which can be non-commercial. You may post copies
on an internal secure server, and it may be installed and used
on personal machines of eligible users.
You may distribute snippets of this software in research papers, books or
other teaching materials, or publish snippets of the software on websites
or on-line community forums that are intended for teaching and research.
The total amount of source code in each of your snippets should
not exceed 50 lines. If you wish to use a larger portion
of the software, please contact [email protected].
You may not use or distribute this software or any derivative works
in any form for commercial purposes. Examples of commercial purposes
would be running business operations, licensing, leasing, or selling
the software, or distributing the software for use with commercial products.
If you wish to commercialize your work related to the software or take part
in research with industrial partners, you need to contact [email protected]
to enquire about a commercial license.
You may distribute the software and modifications to the software for
non-commercial purposes, but only to other eligible users of the software
(for example, to another university student or professor to support joint
academic research). You may not grant rights to the software or derivative
works that are broader than those provided by this license. For example,
you may not distribute modifications of the software under terms that would
permit commercial use, or under terms that purport to require the software
or derivative works to be sublicensed to others.
You may use any information in intangible form that you remember after
accessing the software. However, this right does not grant you a license
to any of Microsoft's copyrights or patents for anything you might create
using such information.
In return for the license rights above, you must agree to these obligations:
1. You will not remove any copyright or other notices from the software,
nor reverse engineer or decompile binary portions of the software,
unless your laws give you the right to do so despite this restriction.
2. You will include a verbatim copy of this license if you distribute
the software in any form.
3. If you distribute derivative works of the software in source code form
you will do so only under this license, and if you distribute derivative
works of the software solely in object form you will do so only under
a license that complies with this license.
4. If you have modified the software or created derivative works,
and distribute such modifications or derivative works, you will cause
the modified files to carry prominent notices describing your changes and
the date of the changes, so that recipients know that they are not receiving
the original software.
5. THE SOFTWARE COMES "AS IS", WITH NO WARRANTIES. THIS MEANS NO EXPRESS,
IMPLIED OR STATUTORY WARRANTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY WARRANTY
OF TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU MUST PASS THIS DISCLAIMER ON WHENEVER
YOU DISTRIBUTE THE SOFTWARE OR DERIVATIVE WORKS.
6. MICROSOFT WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES RELATED TO THE SOFTWARE
OR THIS LICENSE, INCLUDING DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL
OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT THE LAW PERMITS, NO MATTER
WHAT LEGAL THEORY IT IS BASED ON. YOU MUST PASS THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
ON WHENEVER YOU DISTRIBUTE THE SOFTWARE OR DERIVATIVE WORKS.
7. If you sue anyone over patents that you think may apply to the software
or anyone's use of the software, your license to the software ends immediately.
8. You will not use the software to aid the development of any software
programs that are designed to: (a) harm or intentionally interfere with
the operation of a computer system including any data or information stored
on such computer system; and/or (b) surreptitiously gain or maintain high level
access to a computer system, self-propagate, and/or execute in a manner that
prevents detection, including but not limited to, so-called "rootkit"
software programs, viruses, or worms.
9. Your rights under the license end immediately if you breach it in any way.
10. Microsoft reserves all rights not expressly granted to you in this license.
