university of chicago new license scheme

The terms are similar to any reasonable license.

I should also add that they have a two tier access option -
the 
first tier is for a single concurrent user: in this
situation you 
are only offered the "Terms and Conditions"; in
the second tier 
you have campus wide + remote access: in this instance you
still 
have "Terms and Conditions", and you are given the
opportunity to 
negotiate a further license, if that is what your
institution 
needs.
