The Numerical Recipes software ("our Software") consists of thecomputer programs that appear in the Numerical Recipes series of bookspublished by Cambridge University Press, plus a few extra, incidentalprograms that we include with most distributions. Our software iscopyrighted, and you can use it only if you have a license fromus.

Specifically, under this license, your program usermust not be able to use our programs as part of a program libraryor"mix-and-match" workbench.

If you sell or otherwise commercially distribute programs that haveour software bound into them (as above), you must additionally(i)notify us in advance of such use and describe the nature of theuse, (ii) include our Copyright notice within your machine-readabledistribution (you need not display it when your program runs), and(iii) insure that no business relationship is created between us, orthe authors of the Numerical Recipes books, and your users.

Otherwise, this license does not authorize you to transfer, publish,disclose, display, or otherwise make available our software in anyform (whether source or object code) to other organizations orpersons.
