code or the library object code.

provided by Licensor to Licensee via Licensee's download of the 
Software.

1.3  Non-Commercial License is a license which grants to Licensee the 
right to use the Library under the terms of this agreement for non-
commercial purposes only.  The Non-Commercial License shall apply 
unless a Commercial license has been granted by explicit arrangement 
with Licensor.

to use the Library under the terms of this agreement for commercial 
purposes. A Commercial License may be obtained only by explicit 
arrangement with Licensor, usually accompanied by payment of a license 
fee to Licensor.

library object code.  Licensee may distribute dynamic link libraries 
(*.DLL) or shared objects (*.so) that incorporate library object code 
with the application program if the dynamic link libraries or shared 
objects are necessary for the application programs to run.  Such 
dynamic link libraries or shared objects remain the property of

application that the dynamic link libraries or shared object are 
copyrighted and owned by Licensor.

2.4  Licensee may make one copy of the documentation in printed form.
