If you get paid to do your research in any way(as an employee of a university, non-profit, govt agency, big oil, small bio-tech, graduate student or post-doc receiving a stipend), you must pay Intel for a license. Degree-granting academic institutions get a discount. If you are programming for a personal project on your own accord and aren't being compensated in any way for it, it's free. -- Prentice _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
