Hi Neil,

The license is "Intel Pre-Release Software License Agreement". We will send a
patch to make this this clear in the documentation. We will also see if it
can be made visible on the download page. 

I can send you a copy of the license if you wish. Pablo has already tested 
compilation with the latest version of the patch.

John
