CWR Software Policy

1. Important Definitions


'executables'are CWR compiled binaries for PC, LINUX and Mac OSX. Includes DYRESM, ELCOM and CAEDYM.
'source code'consists of raw Fortran text files for DYRESM, ELCOM and CAEDYM.
'user'is defined as a single node of an organisation using CWR software (e.g. a regional office of university department). Additional nodes are considered third party to the agreement.

2. Distribution of Executables


Users of CWR executables must:

  1. agree to the user license terms and conditions;
  2. pay membership fee to gain access to the executables;
  3. not distribute the executables to any third party;
  4. acknowledge the Centre for Water Research in any publications that use the executables.

Note: The annual membership fee provides users with access to updates and support (to the membership level selected) for a period of 12 months. If a user does not wish to update their membership after 12 months they are permitted ongoing use only of the versions of software downloaded during their membership period subject to the license terms and conditions of the agreement. No support is offered to users without current membership. Memberships can be renewed at any time.

Under certain circumstances the Director of CWR may grant a free licence for student use, where no financial project is involved. To inquire about a free license for student use, please e-mail jimberger@cwr.uwa.edu.au.
