{\small \LiDIA\  is    not   in  the  public domain but it can be  
copied  and  distributed  freely for any non-commercial  purpose.
Commercial licenses are available from the LiDIA Group.

If  you copy \LiDIA\ for somebody else, you may ask  this  person
for   refund  of your expenses.  This should cover cost of media,
copying and shipping.  You are not allowed to ask for  more  than
this.   In any case you must give a copy of this copyright notice
along with the program.

If  you  obtain   \LiDIA\  please send us  a short notice to that 
effect,  e.g.,  an  e-mail  message   to  \TT{lidia@cs.uni-sb.de}
containing your full  name and address. This allows  us  to  keep
track of the number of \LiDIA\ users.

If  you   publish   a  mathematical  result   that   was   partly  
obtained   using   \LiDIA\,  please cite \LiDIA\  (\LiDIA -Group,
\LiDIA---\EM{A library for computational  number  theory},
TH Darmstadt,  1996.), just as  you  would  cite
another  paper  that  you  used.  Also we  would appreciate it if
you could inform us about  such a paper.

You  are permitted  to modify and  redistribute   \LiDIA\,   but
you are not allowed  to restrict further redistribution.  That is
to say  proprietary modifications will  not  be allowed.  We want
all  versions  of \LiDIA\ to remain free.

If you  modify  any part of \LiDIA\  and  redistribute  it,   you
must   supply   a   README  file containing information about the 
changes you made. We do  not  want  to take  credit or  be blamed  
for your modifications.

Of course we are interested in all  of  your  modifications.   In
particular  we  would like to see bug-fixes, improvements and new
functions.  So again we would appreciate it if you  informed
us about all modifications you make.

\LiDIA\  is distributed by us without any warranty, to the extent
permitted  by  applicable state law.  We  distribute \LiDIA\  *as
is* without  warranty of any kind, either expressed  or  implied,
including,  but  not  limited  to,  the   implied  warranties  of 
merchantability and  fitness for a particular purpose.

The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the  program
is   with  you.   Should  \LiDIA\  prove  defective,  you have to
take over the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction.

In no  case  unless  required by applicable law will  we,  and/or
any other party who  may  modify  and  redistribute  \LiDIA\  as
permitted above, be liable  to you for  damages,  including  lost
profits,   lost   money   or   other   special,   incidental  or
