[McIDAS #KRC-688512]: problem for mcidas

Hi Otto,

re:
> I need download MCIDAS the site the unidata,
> I want download the page failed. sent me link for download please.

Unidata is licensed by the owners of McIDAS, the Space Science and
Engineering Center (SSEC) of the University of Wisconsin (UW) at
Madison to distribute McIDAS to degree-granting educational institutions
only.  The following is a statement from SSEC that describes which
non-U.S. institutions can be granted access to McIDAS by Unidata:

  SSEC considers permissible users of the international university community
  to be those who are using McIDAS-X for academic classroom instruction or
  academic research by students related to obtaining a degree. Research 
institutes
  and government agencies that use McIDAS-X for meteorological research or
  operations must purchase a license from SSEC for the non-academic use. Given
  this clarification, and if Unidata users remain within the licensing terms
  that include no re-distribution of any portion of the software, SSEC is 
agreeable
  to providing this software to the international university Unidata user 
community.

In order to grant you access to McIDAS, we would need a clear statement from
you that specifies _all_ of the following:

- you are accessing McIDAS from Unidata for use in a university
- McIDAS must be used for academic classroom instruction or academic research
  by students related to obtaining a degree
- your installation of McIDAS is not for use by a government agency, 
non-academic
  research institute, or private concern
- you agree that you will not re-distribute any portion of the software

If your site meets these criteria, we will grant you access to our distribution
of McIDAS, Unidata McIDAS-X/-XCD.

If your site does not meet these criteria, you will need to contact the McIDAS
Users Group (MUG) at SSEC to get licensed for the distribution by joining the 
MUG.

Once and for as long as a site is a member in good standing in the MUG, we
are allowed to provide our distribution of McIDAS.  We consider this to be
beneficial for such sites as the Unidata distribution of McIDAS is a superset
of the distribution that is available from SSEC.
