You should have mentioned that it comes with one of the most
restrictive licenses that I have ever seen, at least for software from
an academic background. It even includes a NDA about internals of the
software (quote paragraph 10 of the "Research/Evaluation License
Agreement for the LANCE Compiler System": "No technical information
about LANCE, its tools and technology, internal architecture,
intermediate representation, and library components and interfaces may
be disclosed to third parties without prior written approval of
Licensor." - even reporting experience with Lance would be dangerous
under such a license, such a report might unintentionally reveal Lance
internals.)
