    CLIPS version 6.0 is available at no cost via ftp to NASA and its  
    contractors for use on NASA projects. If you are a NASA employee,
    you may request the user name and password required for access to
    download the CLIPS software via ftp by sending an email message 
    to stbprod@fdr.jsc.nasa.gov. Your subject line should be CLIPS
    REQUESTED and the body of the message should contain your name,
    mailing address, and voice and fax numbers. NASA contractors 
    should have their NASA contract manager request the user name and
    password information. [Note that the most recent version of CLIPS
    is available by anonymous ftp from cs.cmu.edu (see below),
    so there's not much point in requesting the user name and 
    password to access the restricted portions of the ITO ftp site at
    hubble.jsc.nasa.gov. Bug fixes and other CLIPS related files are
    still available by anonymous ftp at thise site.] For more information,

<H3>Usage Restrictions</H3><P>

    Copies of CLIPS purchased through COSMIC can be freely used and
    redistributed without restrictions. This is the mechanism through 
    which companies, such as the Austin Code Works or Network Cybernetics 
    Corporation, can redistribute CLIPS. The redistribution restrictions, 
    or lack thereof, also apply to any individual or company that has a
    copy of CLIPS that can trace its origins back to a purchase from 
    COSMIC. For example, if you buy a copy of CLIPS from the Austin Code 
    Works or you download a copy of CLIPS from an anonymous ftp site that 
    purchased a copy from COSMIC, you can freely use and redistribute the 
    copy you obtained. <P>
    
    Users who receive CLIPS from the Information Technology Help Desk 
    may only use CLIPS in connection with the specific project under which 
    it was provided and no further use or dissemination can be made without 
    prior written permission. <P>
