+
+Dear Mr. Bateman
+
+I apologize for not responding to this previously.
+
+The clarification we discussed is the following
+
+
+The clause in the license statement  that states
+
+>>Written notification is provided to the developers of intent to use this 
+>> software. Also, we ask that use of ARPACK is properly cited in any 
+>> resulting publications or software documentation.
+
+has the following intension in your case.
+
+We are asking for acknowledgment in FEDORA that ARPACK is
+the software that underlies what corresponds to the  "eigs" command.   
+There is no intention to pass on a requirement of notification of use
+from users of FEDORA.   
+
+This is the understanding we have with MATLAB for example.
+
+If the above note or a slight modification of it is not acceptable
+for the purposes of using ARPACK in FEDORA, I will have to refer
+you to the tech transfer department of Rice University as I explained
+during our phone conversation.
+
+Once again my apologies for the delay and I thank you for your
+interest in ARPACK.
+
+Best Regards
+Dan Sorensen
