SEGMENT OPEN LICENSE AGREEMENT

This License is granted by Medviso AB, a Swedish company registered under company No SE556738559501, having its principal place of business located at Griffelvägen 3, 224 67, Lund to the individual and/or entity that has downloaded the Program covered by this Agreement or subsequently received the Program by distribution permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

BACKGROUND

This license contains the terms and conditions for the use of the Program (as defined below) in teaching, scientific and clinical research, and only provided that the Program then is used for non-commercial and non-clinical purpose. Commercial purpose includes clinical trials where sponsor is not an academic or governmental body. Clinical purpose is defined as where the usage of the software on images from an individual may change that individual's clinical management.

For clinical or commercial usage of the Program (including Work based of the Program) the Program is also released under parallel commercial license(s), not covered in this license text.

The licensee is given the rights to use the Program, to distribute the source code, to receive the source code, to change and modify the Program and to distribute any modified or changed Program under this license. The distribution of modified or changed Program is dependent on that the conditions set forth in this license are met.

Similarly to GPL, this license grants you rights to use the software, to distribute copies, to receive source code, to change the software and distribute your modifications or the modified software. Also similarly to the GPL, if you distribute verbatim or modified copies of this software, they must be distributed under this license.

By modelling the GPL, this license guarantees that you're safe when using the Program in teaching, scientific and clinical research. This license guarantees that the Program will remain available free of charge for non-commercial and non-clinical use. You can modify the Program to your purposes, and you can also share your modifications.

We believe that the combination of open-source and dual commercial licensing will be beneficial for the whole user community, because income from commercial licenses will enable faster development and a higher level of software quality, while further enjoying the informal, open communication and collaboration channels of open source development.
