Thomas Didn't ICON consider that indeed, this decision might stimulate the divergence of an open-source clade of NONMEM, somewhat like R stemmed out of S-plus? If a small academic group starts to work in that direction, it would certainly be quickly joined by many...

By mutual agreement with the University of California at San Francisco, NONMEM 7 is intellectual property belonging to IDS. However, IDS will continue to pay royalties to UCSF. The business plan under which NONMEM 7 was developed calls for the protection of the I.P. involved. In addition, NONMEM 7 contains several updated routines developed and owned by IMSL (Visual Numerics Inc.). Our agreement with IMSL stipulates that we will not distribute their source code. The installer will compile the software but will not allow the unencrypted source code to remain on the users computer. The licensing agreement will also stipulate that any attempt to access the source code will be a violation of the agreement. Some source code will be left unencrypted for various reasons, one being the need for users to change certain values in SIZES and perhaps other resource routines. Tom Thomas M.
