Overview

We distinguish between two types of users: research type and commercial type:

• Research users are typically universities or other institutions engaged in scientific research activities.
  
  
• Commercial users are typically companies or public institutions (such as national mapping agencies) which bottom-line objective is not scientific research but commercial results or services.

For research users it is forbidden to sell products derived from any Bernese GNSS Software processing, either directly (e.g., coordinates) or indirectly (e.g., meteorological models including troposphere parameters estimated with the software).

The order forms are sorted in two sections for research and commercial users.
