Academic Software License Agreement
The University of Washington (UW) and Professor Matthew Stephens and his laboratory (Developers) give permission for you and your laboratory (Institution) to use the PHASE Version 2 software (PHASE). PHASE is a program implementing the method for reconstructing haplotypes from population data. UW and the Developers allow researchers at your Institution to copy and modify PHASE, for internal, non-profit research purposes, on the following conditions:
1. The PHASE software remains at your Institution and is not published, distributed, or otherwise transferred or made available to other than Institution employees and students involved in research under your supervision.
If you wish to obtain PHASE for any commercial purposes, you will need to execute a separate licensing agreement with the University of Washington and pay a fee. This includes, but is not limited to, using PHASE to provide services to outside parties for a fee. In that case please contact:
UW TechTransfer Digital Ventures

2. You retain in PHASE and any modifications to PHASE, the copyright, trademark, or other notices pertaining to PHASE as provided by UW.
3. You provide the Developers with feedback on the use of the PHASE software in your research, and that the Developers and UW are permitted to use any information you provide in making changes to the PHASE software. All bug reports and technical questions shall be sent to: stephens@galton.uchicago.edu.
4. You acknowledge that the Developers, UW and its licensees may develop modifications to PHASE that may be substantially similar to your modifications of PHASE, and that the Developers, UW and its licensees shall not be constrained in any way by you in UW's or its licensees' use or management of such modifications. You acknowledge the right of the Developers and UW to prepare and publish modifications to PHASE that may be substantially similar or functionally equivalent to your modifications and improvements, and if you obtain patent protection for any modification or improvement to PHASE you agree not to allege or enjoin infringement of your patent by the Developers, the UW or by any of UW's licensees obtaining modifications or improvements to PHASE from the University of Washington or the Developers.
5. If utilization of the PHASE software results in outcomes which will be published, please specify the version of PHASE you used and cite sources [A] and [B] below. If you also use the recombination rate estimates in the _recom file of the software, please also cite [C].
