# RouteRTL Academic License 1.0

<https://routertl.dev/legal/academic-license/1.0>

## Eligible Institutions

This license is available to:

1. accredited institutions that award academic degrees, and
2. non-profit public research institutes.

## Grant

The licensor grants the institution, and the students and staff it
registers, a license to use the software, including its licensed
features, for the permitted purposes below, for the term of each
registration.

## Permitted Purposes

1. Teaching and coursework.
2. Student projects and student competitions.
3. Non-commercial research whose results are published.

## Excluded Use

Research funded in whole or in part by a company is commercial use
and is not a permitted purpose. So is work whose results, or rights
in them, go to a company. That use requires a commercial license
under the RouteRTL Core License 1.0.

Use for the benefit of a company, including a company owned by the
institution, is not a permitted purpose.

## Marking

Every output that the software produces with its licensed features
under this license, and that is given to anyone other than the
person who produced it, must carry this line, unchanged and visible:

"Produced under a RouteRTL Academic License - not for commercial use."

These outputs include sign-off documents, contract and coverage
reports, and audit outputs. The software adds the line. Removing,
hiding or altering the line, or producing such an output in a way
that leaves it out, is a violation of this license.

## Registration

Each user registers with an email address at a domain of the
institution. A registration lasts:

1. 1 year for a student, renewable while the student is enrolled;
2. 3 years for faculty and research staff, renewable while they are
   employed by the institution.

For a course, the licensor may issue a classroom registration for
the course duration. The instructor holds the classroom registration
and registers the course.

## Acknowledgement

The licensor asks that publications based on work done with the
software acknowledge RouteRTL. For example: "Builds and simulations
used RouteRTL (https://routertl.dev)."

## Ending

A registration ends at the end of its term, or when the user leaves
the institution. The licensor may end a registration that is used
outside the permitted purposes, after notice under Violations.

## Other Terms

The sections Acceptance, Copyright License, Distribution License,
Notices, Changes and New Works License, Patent License, Fair Use,
Licensed Features, Noncompete, Competition, New Products,
Discontinued Products, Sales of Business, No Other Rights, Patent
Defense, Violations, No Liability, Governing Law and Definitions of

purpose under this license. In this license, a **company** is an
organization, as defined there, that operates for profit.
