SPEC is actively soliciting for source code that will be included in future SPEC benchmark releases. The attached memo is the form that must be completed BEFORE a benchmark is submitted. SPEC cannot consider a benchmark unless we can have a clear permission to use and distribute from the author/owner of the benchmark. We are particularly interested in applications as opposed to synthetic benchmarks. In a separate posting I will publish the SPEC guidelines for good application programs. SPEC subject: Permission to Use and date: January 17, 1990 Distribute Computer Program from: SPEC Steering Committee 1. Name_and_Description_of_Program 2. Name_and_Address_of_Program_SUBMITTER 3. Permission_to_Use_and_Distribute 1. License. SUBMITTER grants SPEC the non-revokable, non-exclusive/exclusive (strike one) right to copy, modify and distribute the PROGRAM to third parties insofar as SUBMITTER has proprietary rights in the PROGRAM. 2. Fee. SUBMITTER waives any fee for the license of paragraph 1, both from SPEC and from end users to whom SPEC may license PROGRAM. 3. Restrictions. The following restrictions are imposed by SUBMITTER on SPEC with regard to the license of paragraph 1 (write None if none apply; use separate continuation sheet, if needed): 4. Representation. SUBMITTER represents that the PROGRAM submitted to SPEC is the best available version of the PROGRAM and that the PROGRAM is either in the public domain or owned by SUBMITTER and that SUBMITTER is not aware of any actual or threatened infringement claim - 2 - relating to the PROGRAM.
