The MCDFGME code calculates a number of atomic properties taking fully into account relativistic effects.

 

A personal license to use MCDFGME release 2005 means that you and your research group may use the MCDFGME executable file(s) of the code subject to the terms given below. This agreement applies to all revisions of release 2005, that is, all versions denoted by MCDFGME release 2005.x, where x is the revision number. The current release is 2005.10, new versions may appear to correct bugs and/or extend the versatility of the code. In the following all references to MCDFGME refer to the executable files of MCDFGME release 2005 available to registered users on the Web site: http://dirac.spectro.jussieu.fr/mcdf

 

In order to obtain and use MCDFGME 2005 you are required to accept the following terms:

·         Copyright for the code and the documentations rests with the authors (Jean-Paul Desclaux and Paul Indelicato) and is not being placed in the public domain.

·         You are required to make sure that MCDFGME is not distributed to users outside your research group. In particular, no person leaving your research group may take a copy of MCDFGME with him/her, unless that person has obtained his/her own license.

·         You have to take all necessary actions to guarantee that people not included in this license cannot access MCDFGME. When you stop using a computer you have to delete all MCDFGME files on that computer.

·         This code is provided only for research activities intended to be published in the open literature. Results obtained with the code may not be used for proprietary purposes, and no fee may be charged for the use of the program.

You understand that the authors of MCDFGME cannot be held responsible in any way for any consequences arising from the use of the program. While every attempt will be made to correct reported errors, the authors of MCDFGME are not obliged to make such corrections, nor is there any support for users implied by making the program available.

·         Any published work including results obtained with the MCDFGME program must acknowledge with an appropriate citation. A suitable text would be: " MCDFGME, a MultiConfiguration Dirac Fock and General Matrix Elements program, release 2005)", written by J. P. Desclaux and P. Indelicato (http://dirac.spectro.jussieu.fr/mcdf)

·         You are responsible that other members of your research group using MCDFGME conform to these terms.

     

I have read, understand and agree to the terms for the use of the MCDFGME program.
