I rarely use this combination, but because I definitely cannot give permission to create derivative works, I figured this was the best middle ground. You can basically print this out and share it with people, but you can't use it commercially (which would probably annoy Intel) and you can't create derivative works. See [LICENSE.txt] for details. \ No newline at end of file
