Innovative hardware and software parallel inference technology has been under development through the Project, which involves varieties of advanced software for experiments and evaluation. This software, being at a basic stage of research and development, should be disseminated widely to the research community.
According to the aims of the Project, ICOT has made this software, the copyright of which does not belong to the government but to ICOT itself, available to the public in order to contribute to the world, and, moreover, has removed all restrictions on its usage that may have impeded further research and development in order that large numbers of researchers can use it freely to begin a new era of computer science.
This program together with any attached documentation (collectively, the "Program") is being distributed by ICOT free of charge as ICOT Free Software.
