Include a terms of use paragraph in README?

[Huite]

Greetings all,

This seems like a wonderful resource to get Intel compilers working for open source development. I'd like to suggest adding a paragraph regarding the terms of use. You currently point to a CC-BY-4.0 and MIT license under the license heading, but this is insufficiently clear to me. Recalling the adage of:

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

So I wasn't sure, and I checked this page:
https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/qualify-for-free-software.html

And a recent EULA:
https://software.intel.com/content/dam/develop/public/us/en/documents/intel-end-user-license-agreement-for-developer-tools-oct-2020.pdf

Which leads me to the following impressions:

• I can use excerpts from this repository to configure CI for open source software (public domain in this specific case), provided I attribute this repo
• I am allowed to install ifort on the CI machine
• I am allowed to use ifort to build a binary on the CI machine
• I am allowed to distribute binaries that were built on that CI machine

Is my understanding correct?

If my understanding is correct, then I'd suggest adding something like such a specifically worded list in the README, as well as providing a link to the EULA proper of course (if that also pleases the lawyerly types sufficiently).

Your understanding is correct on all points. We will add some text. It will probably have to be a pointer to some text on the intel site that will address the points.

Excellent, thank you for the prompt answer!
