Distributing your Source-Code GEMPACK model to others
Within certain limits, the Source-Code Version of GEMPACK allows you to create and
distribute a model to be run by other people (who might not have GEMPACK).
A GEMPACK user with a Source-Code licence can create executable
images of TABLO-generated programs to solve the models they build or modify. These
TABLO-generated EXE files can be distributed (with data files) to other users (who
might not have a GEMPACK licence) so that they can carry out simulations with the
model.
The other users could freely download the GEMPACK
Windows Programs, including RunGEM, a Windows interface
which makes it easy to carry out simulations with a model.
Some limitations are:
The other users of your TABLO-generated EXE can change the pre-simulation data,
closure and shocks, but cannot change the model equations in any way. Perhaps this might
be an advantage, if you wished your model to be safely used by less experienced
people.
Other users without a GEMPACK licence cannot run models larger than medium sized. Any GEMPACK licence would allow them to surmount
this limitation, including the cheapest, Introductory licence,
which is designed for this purpose.
If you distribute your model to others, you will be responsible for any technical
support they may need. GEMPACK technical support is only available to GEMPACK licence
holders.
Please remember also that while many GEMPACK components may be freely distributed,
others may not. In particular, you must not give to others:
The programs TABLO and GEMSIM. These may only be used by full (ie, non-Introductory)
GEMPACK licence-holders.
The Fortran source files that come with the Source-Code Version of GEMPACK.
Your GEMPACK licence files.
RunDynam and similar programs.
Giving away such files would be a breach of the conditions of your own GEMPACK
licence.
