Who may use
GraVis
and at which cost? Well, the first part of the
question is answered easily:
anyone!
The rest of this page covers
the datails of the answer to the second part of the question above. The
essence of this discussion is that
GraVis
is
not
free -
well, not for everybody.
Users of GraVis
We classify the users of
Gravis
into three categories and ask a
different fee from each group for using
GraVis
. These categories
are listed below, ordered with increasing asked price:
-
Noncommercial research groups
-
Private, noncommercial users
-
Commercial users
1. Noncommercial Research Groups
This is the group which will get the best deal when using
GraVis
It won't cost them anything and this situation will not change in the
future! However, this does not automatically include
access to the source code and we would really like to know who you are
and what you are doing with
GraVis
. So, please fill out the
Survey
2. Private Noncommercial Users
If you want to try out
GraVis
for your personal fun or because
graph drawing and graph algorithms are your hobby, you are welcome to
use
GraVis
. It is pretty unlikely that we will ask money from
the members of this group of users for future versions of
GraVis
Anyway, we still want to know who you are and what you are doing with
GraVis
, so please fill out the Survey
3. Commercial Users
Individuals or companies making money by using
GraVis
within their
commercial product or by using
GraVis
internally are required to
pay a licence fee to the GraVis team
Please contact us (eg. Harald Lauer(lauer@informatik.uni-tuebingen.de)
) directly if you belong to this group and want further
information. The same is required if you want to sell
GraVis
Who are you ?
Regardless to which group you belong, if you like
GraVis
or not or
if you want to contribute the the
GraVis
project in any form (extension
modules, bug reports, suggestions, constructive critique, ...), please let us
know about you by filling the Survey
form.
Thank you!
