+ACM Software License Agreement
+
+All software, both binary and source published by the Association for
+Computing Machinery (hereafter, Software) is copyrighted by the
+Association (hereafter, ACM) and ownership of all right, title and
+interest in and to the Software remains with ACM. By using or copying
+the Software, User agrees to abide by the terms of this Agreement.
+
+
+Noncommercial Use
+
+The ACM grants to you (hereafter, User) a royalty-free, nonexclusive
+right to execute, copy, modify and distribute both the binary and
+source code solely for academic, research and other similar
+noncommercial uses, subject to the following conditions:
+
+1. User acknowledges that the Software is still in the development
+stage and that it is being supplied "as is," without any support
+services from ACM. Neither ACM nor the author makes any
+representations or warranties, express or implied, including, without
+limitation, any representations or warranties of the merchantability
+or fitness for any particular purpose, or that the application of the
+software, will not infringe on any patents or other proprietary rights
+of others.
+
+2. ACM shall not be held liable for direct, indirect, incidental or
+consequential damages arising from any claim by User or any third
+party with respect to uses allowed under this Agreement, or from any
+use of the Software.
+
+3. User agrees to fully indemnify and hold harmless ACM and/or the
+author(s) of the original work from and against any and all claims,
+demands, suits, losses, damages, costs and expenses arising out of the
+User's use of the Software, including, without limitation, arising out
+of the User's modification of the Software.
+
+4. User may modify the Software and distribute that modified work to
+third parties provided that: (a) if posted separately, it clearly
+acknowledges that it contains material copyrighted by ACM (b) no
+charge is associated with such copies, (c) User agrees to notify ACM
+and the Author(s) of the distribution, and (d) User clearly notifies
+secondary users that such modified work is not the original Software.
+
+5. User agrees that ACM, the authors of the original work and others
+may enjoy a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, copy, modify
+and redistribute these modifications to the Software made by the User
+and distributed to third parties as a derivative work under this
+agreement.
+
+6. This agreement will terminate immediately upon User's breach of, or
+non-compliance with, any of its terms. User may be held liable for any
+copyright infringement or the infringement of any other proprietary
+rights in the Software that is caused or facilitated by the User's
+failure to abide by the terms of this agreement.
+
+7. This agreement will be construed and enforced in accordance with
+the law of the state of New York applicable to contracts performed
+entirely within the State. The parties irrevocably consent to the
+exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in the
+City of New York for all disputes concerning this agreement.
+
+
+Commercial Use
+
+Any User wishing to make a commercial use of the Software must contact
+ACM at permissions@acm.org to arrange an appropriate
+license. Commercial use includes (1) integrating or incorporating all
+or part of the source code into a product for sale or license by, or
+on behalf of, User to third parties, or (2) distribution of the binary
+or source code to third parties for use with a commercial product sold
+or licensed by, or on behalf of, User.
