License Type Definitions
- Academic – These are appropriate for individuals working in academic or not-for-profit research institutions who are using the software for strictly non-commercial purposes. Academic licenses are Department Licenses i.e., the code may only be used by individuals working in the department to which the software was licensed; they include the source code and an executable (default: PC)
- Commercial – These are appropriate for commercial entities. Commercial licenses are Enterprise-wide Licenses; there are two price subcategories: (1) executable (default: PC), and (2) source code.
- Government – U.S. Government organizations are required to sign a no-cost government use license to obtain a copy of the software. Non-U.S. Government organizations are required to obtain an Academic license.
- Collaborator – Certain modules may be distributed at no cost to Academic or Commercial Collaborators identified by the TOUGH Developer Team. An Academic Collaborator is defined as a staff member or student of an educational institution that actively collaborates with LBNL to either increase TOUGH capabilities or to use TOUGH for a joint publication in a peer-reviewed journal. A Commercial Collaborator is defined as a commercial organization that has a project jointly funded with LBNL, where one of the objectives of the project is to develop capabilities that are or could be implemented in TOUGH. Collaborators are expected to sign the TOUGH Royalty Agreement, agreeing to donate potential licensing revenues to the TOUGH Development Grant.
