Software

Does anyone know where this software is now and how it can be used? It appears to be the top data-visualization software in the world!?

A summary of the licence in the 2007 installation pakage is....

2. All redistributions in binary form must retain all occurrences of the above copyright notice and web site addresses that are currently in place.

3. The origin of this software must not be misrepresented; you must not claim that you wrote the original software.

It is unclear whether "source code" is actually included.

The situation for the Gapminder version is more complicated. The free version is for non-commercial use, but there seems an additional condition that (apparently) any data entered into the package can be used by Gapminder in their publications. I have not found an easy way of copying any of the text of the licence conditions. Melcombe (talk) 12:12, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
