PREAMBLE

GEONE is a python package providing a set of tools for geostatistical
and multiple-point statistics modeling. It contains the DEESSE library
in the sub-package deesse_core.

DEESSE is a commercial product which is not provided as an open source
software and belongs to the University of Neuchâtel. GEONE includes a
wrapper allowing to launch DEESSE directly in python.

GEONE is provided as an open source code with an open access license
applicable for all the code except the deesse_core subpackage (see
details below).

DEESSE and therefore the deesse_core subpackage requires a specific
license agreement for commercial use only.  The use of  DEESSE is free
(royalty free) and unlimited for academic research and teaching
activities. Its use for industrial and commercial activities is
authorized only under a specific license agreement to be concluded
with the University of Neuchâtel. Such commercial license must be
obtained before any commercial or industrial use to take place and
fees will be charged. To obtain such a commercial license from the
University of Neuchâtel, the users shall contact directly Prof.
Philippe Renard (philippe.renard@unine.ch).
