14+
WHEREAS, LICENSEE desires to license the PROGRAM and BROAD desires to grant

the parties hereto agree as follows:
18+
19+
1. DEFINITIONS

27+
LICENSEE, solely for academic non-commercial research purposes, a non-
28+
exclusive, non-transferable license to: (a) download, execute and display

the PROGRAM and (b) create bug fixes and modify the PROGRAM.
30+
31+
LICENSEE hereby automatically grants to BROAD a non-exclusive, royalty-
32+
free, irrevocable license to any LICENSEE bug fixes or modifications to the

PROGRAM with unlimited rights to sublicense and/or distribute. LICENSEE
34+
agrees to provide any such modifications and bug fixes to BROAD promptly
35+
upon their creation.
36+
37+
The LICENSEE may apply the PROGRAM in a pipeline to data owned by users
38+
other than the LICENSEE and provide these users the results of the PROGRAM

50+
51+
2.3 License Limitations. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to
52+

53+

54+
of BROAD, or of any other entity, except as expressly granted herein.
55+

56+
any commercial purpose, including without limitation, as the basis of a
57+
commercial software or hardware product or to provide services. LICENSEE
58+
further agrees that the PROGRAM shall not be copied or otherwise adapted in
59+
order to circumvent the need for obtaining a license for use of the
60+
PROGRAM.
61+
62+
