The License for the Swiss Ephemeris Free Edition
(for assistance goto AstroDeinst.com)

	Included below is version 0.2 of the license that we are currently
	using for the Swiss Ephemeris Free Edition. The license
	is called the Swiss Ephemeris Public License (or "SEPL"), and qualifies as
	an Open Source license. It is thus appropriate for people wishing to write
	software under the Open Source model where all source code to the software
	is made available to all users and can be freely modified and redistributed.
	
	To develop software with the Swiss Ephemeris Free Edition, simply meet the
	requirements in the SEPL. Your software can be licensed by any license that
	permits the requirements in section 6.
	
	If you do not meet the requirements in the SEPL, for example if
	- you develop and distribute software which is sold for a fee higher than a
	reasonable copy charge
	- or/and you develop and distribute software which is not published under an
	Open Source or equivalent license
	you must purchase the Swiss Ephemeris Professional Edition under the Swiss
	Ephemeris Professional License.
	
	Comments to the license:
	
	'Legally' developed in §5 means either developed under this license, §6, or
	under a professional license.

	This license applies to any software containing a notice placed by the
	copyright holder saying that it may be distributed under the terms of the
	SEPL. Such software is herein referred to as the Swiss Ephemeris
	Software (SE). This license covers modification and distribution of the SE,
	use of third-party application programs based on the
	SE, and development of free software which uses the SE.

	1. You are granted the rights set forth in this license provided you agree
	to any and all conditions in this license. Whole or partial distribution of
	the SE in any form signifies acceptance of this license.   
	
	2. You may copy and distribute the SE provided that
	the entire package is distributed, including this License.
	
	3. You may make modifications to the SE files and distribute your
	modifications in a form distinct from the SE. The following
	restrictions apply to modifications:             
	
      a. Modifications must not alter or remove any copyright notices in the SE.
	
      b. If modifications to the SE are released under this
      license, a non-exclusive right is granted to the holder of the
      copyright of the unmodified SE to distribute your
	     modification in future versions of the SE provided such
      versions remain available under these terms in addition to any
      other license.

	machine-executable forms of modified versions of the SE, provided that
	you meet these restrictions:  
	
      a. You accompany the SE with this license.
	
      b. You must ensure that all recipients of the machine-executable
      forms are also able to receive the complete machine-readable
      source code to the distributed SE, including all
      modifications, without any charge beyond the costs of data
      transfer.
	
      c. You ensure that all modifications included in the
      machine-executable forms are available under the terms of this
      license.                          
	
	5. You may use the original or modified versions of the Swiss Ephemeris
	Software to compile, link and run application programs legally developed by
	you or third parties.

	Ephemeris Software. These items, when distributed in machine-executable form,
	have the following restrictions:  
	
      a. You must ensure that all recipients of machine-executable forms
      of these items are also able to receive and use the complete
      machine-readable source code to the items without any charge
      beyond the costs of data transfer.
	
      b. You must explicitly license all recipients of your items to use
      and re-distribute original and modified versions of the items in
      both machine-executable and source code forms under terms
      identical to those under which they received the items.
