| 47 Dear Mr. Bateman | |
| 48 | |
| 49 I apologize for not responding to this previously. | |
| 50 | |
| 51 The clarification we discussed is the following | |
| 52 | |
| 53 | |
| 54 The clause in the license statement that states | |
| 55 | |
| 56 >>Written notification is provided to the developers of intent to use this | |
| 57 >> software. Also, we ask that use of ARPACK is properly cited in any | |
| 58 >> resulting publications or software documentation. | |
| 59 | |
| 60 has the following intension in your case. | |
| 61 | |
| 62 We are asking for acknowledgment in FEDORA that ARPACK is | |
| 63 the software that underlies what corresponds to the "eigs" command. | |
| 64 There is no intention to pass on a requirement of notification of use | |
| 65 from users of FEDORA. | |
| 66 | |
| 67 This is the understanding we have with MATLAB for example. | |
| 68 | |
| 69 If the above note or a slight modification of it is not acceptable | |
| 70 for the purposes of using ARPACK in FEDORA, I will have to refer | |
| 71 you to the tech transfer department of Rice University as I explained | |
| 72 during our phone conversation. | |
| 73 | |
| 74 Once again my apologies for the delay and I thank you for your | |
| 75 interest in ARPACK. | |
| 76 | |
| 77 Best Regards | |
| 78 Dan Sorensen | |
