Description : Ephemeris of Astronomical/Astrological data
The Swiss Ephemeris is a function package for the computation of planetary
positions. It includes the planets, the moon, the lunar nodes, the lunar
apogees, the main asteroids, Chiron, Pholus, the fixed stars and several
"hypothetical" bodies. Hundreds of other minor planets are included as
well.
The precision of the Swiss Ephemeris is very high. It is at least
as accurate as the Astromical Almanac, the standard planetary and lunar
tables astronomers refer to.
The data for 1800-2200 AD is also included.
Here is the license:
Included below is draft version 0.2 of the license that we are currently
using for the Swiss Ephemeris Free Edition. The license
is called the Swiss Ephemeris Public License (or "SEPL"), and qualifies as
an Open Source license. It is thus appropriate for people wishing to write
software under the Open Source model where all source code to the software
is made available to all users and can be freely modified and
redistributed.
To develop software with the Swiss Ephemeris Free Edition, simply meet the
requirements in the SEPL. Your software can be licensed by any license
that permits the requirements in section 6.
If you do not meet the requirements in the SEPL, for example if
- you develop and distribute software which is sold for a fee higher than a
reasonable copy charge
- or/and you develop and distribute software which is not published under an
Open Source or equivalent license
you must purchase the Swiss Ephemeris Professional Edition under the Swiss
Ephemeris Professional License.
Comments to the license:
'Legally' developed in #5 means either developed under this license, #6, or
under a professional license.

No the license doesn't allow it. (In fact I thought I had already closed
this ITP. Thanks for the reminder.)
