Geometer's Sketchpad Licensing Information

The Geometer's Sketchpad is a dynamic geometry construction and exploration tool. With Sketchpad, you can design figures with freehand drawing or precise construction techniques. You can then transform, manipulate, and distort figures interactively, while preserving all geometric relationships. Dynamic interaction gives you the power to explore, analyze, and understand geometry.
