You have to a registered user of SourceForge. Not a big deal but I prefer to
mention it.

And there is a legal problem first. What do people on debian-legal think of the
agreement you have to sign:
OPEN-SOURCE CLICKWRAP IPLA
Intel would like to invite you to participate in Intel's efforts
to prepare software targeted for the Linux
operating system running on the Intel(R) Itanium(tm) processor by
providing you access to software created
by Intel and its licensors and related documentation and
materials (the "Intel Software") and Intel supplied
equipment ("Intel Equipment") under the following terms and
conditions:
1. To the extent that you are using software that is not supplied
by Intel and/or its licensors such as the Linux
operating system and the GCC compiler, this Agreement has no
effect on your rights and your use of that
software is subject to the applicable license such as the Gnu
General Public License or other applicable
license.
2. This license to use the Intel Software and Intel Equipment is
being provided to you royalty-free, in
consideration of your adherence to the other terms and conditions
of this license. You may distribute
software that you create ("Your Software") using this equipment
through any distribution scheme you wish to
use, including distributing Your Software under an open source
license agreement such as the Gnu General
Public License or distributing binaries of Your Software for a
fee and subject to a different license.
3. You may modify portions of the Intel Software provided by
Intel as sample source code and incorporate
such sample source or modified portions thereof into your
programs and may distribute Your Software
incorporating sample source code or modifications thereof under
any license agreement of your choosing.
You may not reverse engineer, decompile, license or disassemble
portions of any Intel Software provided in
object code form.
4. Since the Intel Equipment that you are using is pre-release
hardware and incorporates pre-release software
and is configured to permit multiple people to test code on the
equipment, this equipment will not generate
reliable benchmarking data. I understand that no reliable
benchmarking data can be generated on the Intel
Equipment. Therefore, you agree that you will not disclose
publicly or share with any third party any
benchmarks generated using the Intel Equpment and/or Intel
Software.
5. The Intel Software provided in binary form contains
confidential information of Intel regarding technical
aspects of the Itanium processor. You must use the same degree of
care to protect this confidential
information of Intel that you use to protect your own
confidential information, but no less than a reasonable
degree of care. You must restrict access to the Intel Software
provided in binary form to your employees who
have executed written agreements with you obligating them to
protect confidential information as required
under this paragraph. The obligations of this paragraph do not
apply to any information that is or becomes
published by Intel without restriction, or otherwise becomes
rightfully available to the public other than by
breach of confidentiality obligation to Intel.
6. THE SOFTWARE AND EQUIPMENT IS PROVIDED BY INTEL AND ANY
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND
NON-INFRINGEMENT ARE
DISCLAIMED. IN NO EVENT SHALL INTEL BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT,
INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
(INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF
USE, DATA, OR
PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY
THEORY OF
LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE
OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE,
EVEN IF
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
7. You may provide to Intel additional feedback regarding the
Intel Software and/or the Intel Equipment,
including suggested enhancements or modifications to the Software
or related materials. To the extent that
you provide feedback to Intel, you agree that Intel shall have no
use or confidentiality restrictions on such
feedback.
8. Intel retains all ownership of the Intel Software. No other
rights or licenses are given to you, except as
expressly provided in this license. Upon termination, you agree
to destroy all copies of the Intel Software in
your possession other than Intel Software that you incorporated
into Your Software as permitted under
paragraph 2.
9. You shall comply with all US Export Regulations governing the
Intel Software and Intel Equipment. You
shall not sell or otherwise transfer the Intel Software or any
confidential information of Intel to any person or
any entity listed on a denial order published by the US
Government. You understand that this requirement is
imposed for all transactions, including sales, servicing, and
training. You hereby certify that you are not
involved in nuclear, missile, chemical and/or biological weapons
activities in violation of US Export
Regulations.
10. U.S. GOVERNMENT RESTRICTED RIGHTS: The Materials are provided
with "RESTRICTED
RIGHTS." Use, duplication, or disclosure by the Government is
subject to restrictions as set forth in
FAR52.227-14 and DFAR252.227-7013 et seq. or its successor. Use
of the Materials by the Government
constitutes acknowledgment of Intel's proprietary rights in them.
11. USER SUBMISSIONS: Any material, information or other
communication you transmit or post to this
Site will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary
("Communications"). Intel will have no
obligations with respect to the Communications. Intel and its
designees will be free to copy, disclose,
distribute, incorporate and otherwise use the Communications and
all data, images, sounds, text, and other
things embodied therein for any and all commercial or
non-commercial purposes. You are prohibited from

or review any areas on the Site where
users transmit or post Communications or communicate solely with
each other, including but not limited to
chat rooms, bulletin boards or other user forums, and the content
of any such Communications. Intel,
however, will have no liability related to the content of any
such Communications, whether or not arising
under the laws of copyright, libel, privacy, obscenity, or
otherwise.

applicable local laws. You may not use or export the Materials in
violation of U.S. export laws and regulations.
Any claim relating to the Materials shall be governed by the
internal substantive laws of the State of
Delaware.
16. GENERAL: Intel may revise these Terms at any time by updating
this posting. You should visit this page
from time to time to review the then-current Terms because they
are binding on you. Certain provisions of
these Terms may be superseded by expressly designated legal
notices or terms located on particular pages at
this Site.
17. This license forms the entire agreement between you and Intel
with respect to the subject matter hereof,
and may only be amended in writing by authorized representatives
of both parties. The failure of either party
to enforce any rights resulting from breach will not be deemed a
waiver. This license shall be governed by,
subject to, and construed according to the laws of the United
States and the State of Delaware, excluding its
conflicts of laws provisions. If the Software is used outside the
United States of America, you agree that all
disputes regarding this license and the Software shall be
referred to the United States District Court for
Delaware or, if there is no federal jurisdiction, to the
applicable state court in Delaware.
18. You are not required to accept this agreement, since you have
not signed it. However, nothing else grants
you permission to use the Intel Software or Intel Equipment.
Therefore, by using the Intel Equipment or Intel
Software, you indicate your acceptance of this agreement to do
so, and all its terms and conditions for using
the Intel Software and Intel Equipment.
