Until recently, there was a clause in the Nauty licence prohibiting use |
| 20 |
in "military applications". This was sufficient for the highly paid |
| 21 |
lawyers who looked at it to recommend not redistributing Nauty as part |
| 22 |
of the GAP computer algebra system, because computer algebra could |
| 23 |
conceivably be used for blowing stuff up. |
