Obtaining a Copy of CLIPS
-
CLIPS version 6.0 is available at no cost via ftp to NASA and its
contractors for use on NASA projects. If you are a NASA employee,
you may request the user name and password required for access to
download the CLIPS software via ftp by sending an email message
to stbprod@fdr.jsc.nasa.gov. Your subject line should be CLIPS
REQUESTED and the body of the message should contain your name,
mailing address, and voice and fax numbers. NASA contractors
should have their NASA contract manager request the user name and
password information. [Note that the most recent version of CLIPS
is available by anonymous ftp from cs.cmu.edu (see below),
so there's not much point in requesting the user name and
password to access the restricted portions of the ITO ftp site at
hubble.jsc.nasa.gov. Bug fixes and other CLIPS related files are
still available by anonymous ftp at thise site.] For more information,

Usage Restrictions
Copies of CLIPS purchased through COSMIC can be freely used and
redistributed without restrictions. This is the mechanism through
which companies, such as the Austin Code Works or Network Cybernetics
Corporation, can redistribute CLIPS. The redistribution restrictions,
or lack thereof, also apply to any individual or company that has a
copy of CLIPS that can trace its origins back to a purchase from
COSMIC. For example, if you buy a copy of CLIPS from the Austin Code
Works or you download a copy of CLIPS from an anonymous ftp site that
purchased a copy from COSMIC, you can freely use and redistribute the
copy you obtained.
Users who receive CLIPS from the Information Technology Help Desk
may only use CLIPS in connection with the specific project under which
it was provided and no further use or dissemination can be made without
prior written permission.
