Rosetta Software

  1. Preamble

This preamble is explanatory in nature, and is not part of the license agreement.

  1. While the Rosetta source code is published on GitHub, it is not "Open Source" (according to the OSI definition). Use of Rosetta is governed by the license agreement -- either the one below or a separate commercial agreement obtained through University of Washington CoMotion)

  2. Use for commercial purposes is not permitted under the following license. To obtain a commercial/for-profit license (or for questions about whether your use is considered commercial), please contact University of Washington CoMotion (license@uw.edu). If you and your organization have a commercial license or an Institution Participation Agreement for Rosetta from UW CoMotion, the terms of that license supersede the ones below.

  3. All forks of the Rosetta code must maintain the current licensing restrictions.

  4. Modifications and improvements to the Rosetta code are encouraged. Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.

Rosetta Software Non-Commercial License Agreement

The Rosetta software ("Software") has been developed by the contributing researchers and institutions of the Rosetta Commons ("Developers") and made available through the University of Washington ("UW") for noncommercial, non-profit use. For more information about the Rosetta Commons, please see www.rosettacommons.org. If you wish to use the Software for any commercial purposes, including fee-based service projects, you will need to execute a separate licensing agreement with the UW and pay a fee. In that case, please contact: license@uw.edu.

The Software was developed through support of a variety of funding sources, including the National Institutes of Health, Human Frontier Science Program Grant, National Science Foundation, Office of Naval Research, Packard Foundation, the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation, Jane Coffin Childs Foundation, Los Alamos National Lab, Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, European Research Council, Israel Science Foundation, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI).

“Non-Commercial User” means 1) employees of not-for-profit research institutions, government laboratories, and universities conducting research excluding (a) commercial service; or (b) contract research or services for a for profit company where the intellectual property resulting from such research or service is owned by the for-profit company , and 2) individuals excluding (a) any use by, for, or on behalf of an entity organized for profit; or (b) any use intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or monetary compensation.

“Software” includes both source and executable copies of the Rosetta software as distributed by the Rosetta Commons.

UW and the Developers grant Non-Commercial Users the rights to perform, display, reproduce and modify the Software solely for internal Non-Commercial purposes, on the following conditions:

  1. You shall not distribute the Software or any modifications to the Software. As an exception, you may fork official Rosetta Commons repositories and make modifications to the source code in such forks on the same version control platform on which those official repositories are hosted.

  2. You retain in Software and any modifications to Software, all copyright, trademark, or other notices pertaining to Software as provided by UW and Developers.

  3. If you institute litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Software or any part of the Software constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any license granted to you herein shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

  4. You acknowledge that the Developers, UW and its licensees may develop modifications to Software that may be substantially similar to your modifications of Software, and that the Developers, UW and its licensees shall not be constrained in any way by you in Developer's, UW's or its licensees' use or management of such modifications. You acknowledge the right of the Developers and UW to prepare and publish modifications to Software that may be substantially similar or functionally equivalent to your modifications and improvements, and if you obtain patent protection for any modification or improvement to Software you agree not to allege or enjoin infringement of your patent by the Developers, UW or by any of UW's licensees obtaining modifications or improvements to Software from the UW or the Developers.

  5. You agree to acknowledge the contribution of the Developers and the Software make to your research, and cite appropriate references about the Software in your publications (see CITING_ROSETTA.md).

  6. Any risk associated with using the Software is with you and/or your institution. Software is experimental in nature and is made available as a research courtesy "AS IS," without obligation by UW or Developers to provide accompanying services or support.

  7. UW AND THE DEVELOPERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES REGARDING THE SOFTWARE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES PERTAINING TO NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
