# Microsoft Research License Terms
## for Computational Network Toolkit (CNTK)
These license terms are an agreement between Microsoft Corporation
(or based on where you live, one of its affiliates) and you. Please read them.
They apply to the software named above, which includes the media on which you
received, if any. The terms also apply to any Microsoft:
* updates,
* supplements,
* Internet-based services, and
* support services
for this software, unless other terms accompany those items. If so, those terms
apply.
__By using the software you accept these terms.__
__If you do not accept them, do not use the software.__
------------------------------------------------------
__If you comply with these license terms, you have the rights below.__
### 1. SCOPE OF RIGHTS:
a. __License Grant.__ You may use, copy, modify, creative derivative works,
and distribute the Software for non-commercial purposes, subject to the
restrictions in this MSR-LA. Examples of non-commercial uses are teaching,
academic research, public demonstrations and personal experimentation.
b. __Publication.__ You may publish (or present papers or articles) on your
results from using the software.
c. __Third Party Programs.__ The software may include third party programs
that Microsoft, not the third party, licenses to you under this agreement.
Notices, if any, for the third party program are included for your
information only.
### 2. DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS:
a. If you distribute the Software or any derivative works of the Software,
you will distribute them under the same terms and conditions as in this
license, and you will not grant other rights to the Software or derivative
works that are different from those provided by this MSR-LA.
b. If you have created derivative works of the software, and distribute
such derivative works, you will cause the modified files to carry prominent
notices so that recipients know that they are not receiving the original
software. Such notices must state: (i) that you have changed the software;
and (ii) the date of any changes.
### 3. DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS: YOU MAY NOT:
a. alter any copyright, trademark or patent notice in the software;
b. use Microsofts trademarks in your programs names or in a way that
suggests your derivative works or modifications come from or are endorsed
by Microsoft;

------------------------------------------------------
__In return, we simply require that you agree:__
### 4. LICENSE TO MICROSOFT.
In the event you contribute code or other material to the Computational Network
Toolkit project, Microsoft is granted back, without any restrictions or
limitations, a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, assignable
and sub-licensable license, to reproduce, publicly perform or display, install,
use, modify, post, distribute, make and have made, sell and transfer any such
contributions.
### 5. TERM; TERMINATION.
The term of this Agreement will commence upon your acceptance of these license
terms and will continue indefinitely unless terminated as provided herein. If
you breach this agreement or if you sue Microsoft or any other party over
patents that you think may apply to or read on the software or anyone's use of
the software, this agreement (and your license and rights obtained herein)
terminate automatically. If this agreement is terminated, you must cease using
and distributing any derivative works or modifications of the Software. Any
sections that are intended to survive termination of this agreement shall
survive.
### 6. FEEDBACK.
That any feedback about the Software provided by you to us is voluntarily
given, and Microsoft shall be free to use the feedback as it sees fit without
obligation or restriction of any kind, even if the feedback is designated by
you as confidential.
### 7. SCOPE OF LICENSE.
The software is licensed, not sold. This agreement only gives you some rights
to use the software. Microsoft reserves all other rights. The patent rights,
if any, granted to you in this MSR-LA only apply to the Software, not to any
derivative works you make. In using the Software, you must comply with any
technical limitations in the software that only allow you to use it in certain
ways. You may not:
a. make more copies of the software than specified in this agreement or
allowed by applicable law, despite this limitation;
b. rent, lease or lend the software;
c. transfer the software or this agreement to any third party; or
d. use the software for commercial software hosting services.
### 8. EXPORT RESTRICTIONS.
The software is subject to United States export laws and regulations. You must
comply with all domestic and international export laws and regulations that
apply to the software. These laws include restrictions on destinations, end
users and end use. For additional information, see www.microsoft.com/exporting.
### 9. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

and support services that you use, are the entire agreement for the software
and support services.
### 10. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE.
This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
state of Washington, without reference to its choice of law principles to the
contrary. Each party hereby consents to the jurisdiction and venue of the state
and federal courts located in King County, Washington, with regard to any suit
or claim arising under or by reason of this Agreement.
### 11. LEGAL EFFECT.
This agreement describes certain legal rights. You may have other rights under
the laws of your country. You may also have rights with respect to the party
from whom you acquired the dataset. This agreement does not change your rights
under the laws of your country if the laws of your country do not permit it to
do so.
### 12. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
__THE SOFTWARE IS LICENSED “AS-IS.” YOU BEAR THE RISK OF USING IT. MICROSOFT
GIVES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES, GUARANTEES OR CONDITIONS. YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL
CONSUMER RIGHTS OR STATUTORY GUARANTEES UNDER YOUR LOCAL LAWS WHICH THIS
AGREEMENT CANNOT CHANGE. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER YOUR LOCAL LAWS,
