7FastJet includes a significant body of third-party code, for example
8for third party plugin algorithms and for computational geometry
9methods. These too are usually released under the GPL or permissive
10licenses. Details are given below on a case-by-case basis.
11
12While the GPL license grants you considerable freedom, please bear in
13mind that FastJet's use falls under guidelines similar to those that
14are standard for Monte Carlo event generators
15(http://www.montecarlonet.org/GUIDELINES). In particular, if you use
16this code as part of work towards a scientific publication, whether
17directly or contained within another program (e.g. Delphes, SpartyJet,
18Rivet, LHC collaboration software frameworks, etc.), you should
19include a citation to
20
21 arXiv:1111.6097 (FastJet User Manual)
22 and, optionally, Phys.Lett.B641 (2006) 57 [arXiv:hep-ph/0512210]
23
24A number of other citations may also be relevant, for example for jet
25areas and subtraction, boosted object taggers, plugins and the
26underlying computational geometry methods and codes. Plugins generally
27indicate the appropriate reference in a banner. References for other
28features are to be found in the FastJet manual.

95
96 "As an author of the D0 Run I and D0 Run II cone code, and having
97 consulted and obtained the consent of the other authors (D0 collaboration),
98 I hereby grant you permission to distribute my/our code for the

172 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
173 Version 2, June 1991
174
175 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
176 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
177 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
178 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
179
180 Preamble
181
182 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
183freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
184License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
185software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
186General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
187Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
188using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
189the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
190your programs, too.
191
192 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
193price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
194have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
195this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
196if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
197in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
198
199 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
200anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
201These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
202distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
203
204 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
205gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
206you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
207source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
208rights.
209
210 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
211(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
212distribute and/or modify the software.
213
214 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
215that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
216software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
217want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
218that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
219authors' reputations.
220
221 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
222patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
223program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
224program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
225patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
226
227 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
228modification follow.
229
230 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
231 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
232
233 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
234a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
235under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
236refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
237means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
238that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
239either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
240language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
241the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
242
243Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
244covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
245running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
246is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
247Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
248Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
249
250 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
251source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
252conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
253copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
254notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
255and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
256along with the Program.
257
258You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
259you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
260
261 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
262of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
263distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
264above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
265
266 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
267 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
268
269 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
270 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
271 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
272 parties under the terms of this License.
273
274 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
275 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
276 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
277 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
278 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
279 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
280 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
281 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
282 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
283 the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
284
285These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
286identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
287and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
288themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
289sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
290distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
291on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
292this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
293entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
294
295Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
296your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
297exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
298collective works based on the Program.
299
300In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
301with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
302a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
303the scope of this License.
304
305 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
306under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
307Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
308
309 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
310 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
311 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
312
313 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
314 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
315 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
316 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
317 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
318 customarily used for software interchange; or,
319
320 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
321 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
322 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
323 received the program in object code or executable form with such
324 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
325
326The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
327making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
328code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
329associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
330control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
331special exception, the source code distributed need not include
332anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
333form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
334operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
335itself accompanies the executable.
336
337If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
338access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
339access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
340distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
341compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
342
343 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
344except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
345otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
346void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
347However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
348this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
349parties remain in full compliance.
350
351 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
352signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
353distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
354prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
355modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
356Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
357all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
358the Program or works based on it.
359
360 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
361Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
362original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
363these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
364restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
365You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
366this License.
367
368 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
369infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
370conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
371otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
372excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
373distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
374License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
375may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
376license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
377all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
378the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
379refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
380
381If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
382any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
383apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
384circumstances.
385
386It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
387patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
388such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
389integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
390implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
391generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
392through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
393system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
394to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
395impose that choice.
396
397This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
398be a consequence of the rest of this License.
399
400 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
401certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
402original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
403may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
404those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
405countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
406the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
407
408 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
409of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
410be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
411address new problems or concerns.
412
413Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
414specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
415later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
416either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
417Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
418this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
419Foundation.
420
421 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
422programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
423to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
424Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
425make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
426of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
427of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
428
429 NO WARRANTY
430
431 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
432FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
433OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
434PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
435OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
436MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
437TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
438PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
439REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
440
441 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
442WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
443REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
444INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
445OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
446TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
447YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
448PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
449POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
450
451 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
452
453 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
454
455 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
456possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
457free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
458
459 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
460to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
461convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
462the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
463
464 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
465 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
466
467 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
468 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
469 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
470 (at your option) any later version.
471
472 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
473 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
474 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
475 GNU General Public License for more details.
476
477 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
478 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
479 Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
480
481
482Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
483
484If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
485when it starts in an interactive mode:
486
487 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
488 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
489 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
490 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
491
492The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
493parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
494be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
495mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
496
497You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
498school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
499necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
500
501 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
502 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

506
507This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
508proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
509consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
510library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
511Public License instead of this License.
