32-bit version: "(c) 32 Bit Kdb+ Software Evaluations. User shall not distribute or otherwise make available to any third party any report regarding the performance of the 32 Bit Kdb+ Software, 32 Bit Kdb+ Software benchmarks or any information from such a report unless User receives the express prior written consent of Kx to disseminate such report or information."
