License

We intend to keep BioSTEAM perpetually open source with a liberal open source license. All of the code in BioSTEAM is available under the University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License, which boils down to this:

• You can freely distribute BioSTEAM.

• You must retain the copyright notice if you redistribute BioSTEAM.

• Binaries derived from BioSTEAM must reproduce the copyright notice.

• You can’t use our names to promote your BioSTEAM derived products.

• There’s no warranty on BioSTEAM at all.

Any contributions to the project must be licensed under these terms. We believe this fosters the widest adoption of BioSTEAM as it allows commercial products to be derived from BioSTEAM with few restrictions and without a requirement for making any derived works also open source (i.e. not a “copyleft” license). If further clarification is needed, we suggest that you read the License.
