Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search Research Computing Software v29.4 END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT The full legal rules are at http://mersenne.org/legal/ It is up to you to get your employer's permission before installing this software on any office machines. Many companies have a strict policy against running any non-business software, however hundreds of companies and other large organizations are participating successfully in the GIMPS research project. Your network administrator, MIS or IT manager is welcome to contact us about this software at primenet@mersenne.org. Every effort has been made to ensure that you will be assigned an exponent that no one else has tested or is testing. We are not responsible for lost prize money, fame, credit, etc. should someone accidentally or maliciously test the number you are working on and find it to be prime. We are not responsible should the program determine a number composite even though it is prime - the program's heavy use of memory and FPU could trigger an error that goes undetected. Finally, as with all freeware, the program is provided "as is". However, please do send bug reports and suggestions for improvements to woltman@alum.mit.edu. See http://mersenne.org/freesoft/ for free updates. Cash Awards for New Mersenne Primes ----------------------------------- At the time of this software release, the Electronic Frontier Foundation is offering a $150,000 award to the first person or group to discover a hundred million digit prime number. If you find such a prime with the software provided, GIMPS will claim the award and distribute the award according to the rules published at http://mersenne.org/legal/#awards Third Party Software Redistribution License ------------------------------------------- Contains distributed computing software licensed from Entropia.com, Inc.
