SOFTWARE and DATABASE LICENSE
AGREEMENT
Pathway Tools Software and BioCyc
Database Collection
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS OF USE CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE
(AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED BELOW).
By clicking on the "I Agree"
button at the bottom of this page, LICENSEE signifies assent to the
terms and conditions set forth in this agreement (“Agreement”).
If LICENSEE does not agree to these terms and conditions, please
click on the "I Do Not Agree" button and do not continue to
use this program. SRI International (“SRI”) reserves the
right, at its discretion, to modify the terms of this license at any
time; SRI will provide notice of such modifications to you through
Pathway Tools, by electronic mail to the address used to register on
biocyc.org, and/or by notices on biocyc.org – continued use of
the software and databases will constitute agreement to the modified
version of the terms.
OVERVIEW
A. Pathway Tools
software is a bioinformatics software system for pathway analysis of
genomes, and for creating pathway/genome databases (PGDBs). A PGDB
is a bioinformatics database that integrates genomic data with
detailed functional annotations of the genome, such as descriptions
of metabolic and signaling pathways; and
B. Under this
Agreement, LICENSEE is able to, among other things:
1) Create New
Databases. Use Pathway Tools software to create new PGDBs, and
redistribute those databases as files or register them in the SRI
database registry for redistribution (as long as those databases are
also hosted by LICENSEE on an external website, meaning a website
that is accessible to the public);
2) Operate an
External Website. Operate an external website using Pathway Tools
software, where that website makes available any or all of the “open”
BioCyc databases, and/or PGDBs created by LICENSEE;
3) Operate an
Intranet Website. Operate a website on LICENSEE’s intranet
using Pathway Tools software, where that website makes available any
or all of the BioCyc databases and/or PGDBs created by LICENSEE (if
that website contains any of the “limited” BioCyc
databases, then the website may be used by a single laboratory, but
not by a larger unit of LICENSEE’s organization such as a
department); and
4) Create and
Distribute Enhancements. Distribute additional software you create
that interacts with the Pathway Tools software, as long as your
software does not contain parts of Pathway Tools itself, or
modifications of Pathway Tools. If you wish to distribute additional
software that contains parts of Pathway Tools, or enhancements to
Pathway Tools, LICENSEE must confirm with SRI that the person you
wish to distribute to has a valid Pathway Tools software license.
