Licensing Terms (short)

SNNSv4.1 is available NOW free of charge for research purposes under a GNU-style copyright agreement. See the license agreement in the user manual and in the file Readme.license of the distribution for details. SNNS is (c) Copyright Universitaet Stuttgart, IPVR.

SNNSv4.1 can only be obtained by anonymous ftp over the Internet. See the detailed description of how to obtain SNNS below. We don't have the time and capacity to send tapes or floppy disks, so don't ask. SNNSv4.1 is also too large to be mailed by e-mail, so don't ask for that, either. You may, however, obtain the unmodified SNNSv4.1 distribution from other sites which already have obtained it, under the terms of our license agreement, if you are unable to connect to our machine.bution for details.

Note that SNNS has not been tested extensively in different computer environments and is a research tool with frequent substantial changes. It should be obvious that WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING.

We are also not staffed to answer problems with SNNS or to fix bugs quickly. For questions and/or comments concerning SNNS we refer you to the SNNS mailing list. To subscribe, send a mail to
