Academic License Agreement
================================

 Introduction 
 •	This license agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which the PAUL SCHERRER INSTITUT (PSI), CH-5232 Villigen-PSI, Switzerland (hereafter "LICENSOR") 
   will grant you (hereafter "LICENSEE") a royalty-free, non-exclusive license for academic, non-commercial purposes only (hereafter "LICENSE") to use the cSAXS 
   ptychography MATLAB package computer software program and associated documentation furnished hereunder (hereafter "PROGRAM").

 Terms and Conditions of the LICENSE
 1.	LICENSOR grants to LICENSEE a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use the PROGRAM for academic, non-commercial purposes, upon the terms and conditions 
       hereinafter set out and until termination of this license as set forth below.
 2.	LICENSEE acknowledges that the PROGRAM is a research tool still in the development stage. The PROGRAM is provided without any related services, improvements 
       or warranties from LICENSOR and that the LICENSE is entered into in order to enable others to utilize the PROGRAM in their academic activities. It is the 
       LICENSEE’s responsibility to ensure its proper use and the correctness of the results.”
 3.	THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR

 4.	LICENSEE agrees that it will use the PROGRAM and any modifications, improvements, or derivatives of PROGRAM that LICENSEE may create (collectively, 
       "IMPROVEMENTS") solely for academic, non-commercial purposes and that any copy of PROGRAM or derivatives thereof shall be distributed only under the same 
       license as PROGRAM. The terms "academic, non-commercial", as used in this Agreement, mean academic or other scholarly research which (a) is not undertaken for 
       profit, or (b) is not intended to produce works, services, or data for commercial use, or (c) is neither conducted, nor funded, by a person or an entity engaged 
       in the commercial use, application or exploitation of works similar to the PROGRAM.
 5.	LICENSEE agrees that it shall make the following acknowledgement in any publication resulting from the use of the PROGRAM or any translation of the code into 
       another computing language:
       "Data processing was carried out using the cSAXS ptychography MATLAB package developed by the Science IT and the coherent X-ray scattering (CXS) groups, Paul 
       Scherrer Institut, Switzerland."

    Additionally, any publication using the package, or any translation of the code into another computing language should cite for difference map:

 6.	Except for the above-mentioned acknowledgment, LICENSEE shall not use the PROGRAM title or the names or logos of LICENSOR, nor any adaptation thereof, nor the 
       names of any of its employees or laboratories, in any advertising, promotional or sales material without prior written consent obtained from LICENSOR in each case.
 7.	Ownership of all rights, including copyright in the PROGRAM and in any material associated therewith, shall at all times remain with LICENSOR, and LICENSEE

       make any copies except for its internal use, without prior written consent of LICENSOR. LICENSEE agrees to place the following copyright notice on any such copies: 
       © All rights reserved. PAUL SCHERRER INSTITUT, Switzerland, Laboratory for Macromolecules and Bioimaging, 2017. 
 8.	The LICENSE shall not be construed to confer any rights upon LICENSEE by implication or otherwise except as specifically set forth herein.
 9.	DISCLAIMER: LICENSEE shall be aware that Phase Focus Limited of Sheffield, UK has an international portfolio of patents and pending applications which relate 
       to ptychography and that the PROGRAM may be capable of being used in circumstances which may fall within the claims of one or more of the Phase Focus patents, 
       in particular of patent with international application number PCT/GB2005/001464. The LICENSOR explicitly declares not to indemnify the users of the software
