 The Corporate Contributor License Agreement (CCLA) is also provided below. The CCLA is available to cover contributing intellectual property via a corporation that may have been assigned as part of an employment agreement. Note that a Corporate CLA does not remove the need for every developer to acknowledge their own ICLA as an individual, which covers both contributions the corporation owns, and those it does not own. The CCLA legally binds the corporation, so a person with authority to enter into legal contracts on behalf of the corporation must acknowledge it.

 MCUT is a tool for partitioning objects represented as meshes that model solids or open surfaces: It is a code library for cutting 3D mesh objects using their geometry to produce crisp fragments at fine scale, which is useful for operations like slicing and boolean operations (union, subtraction and intersection). Supported features include (see images below):
 
-* **Stencilling**: exact cut-outs of the cutting surface
+* **Stenciling**: exact cut-outs of the cutting surface
 * **Intersection curve access**: geometry representing lines of intersection-contour points
 * **Partial cuts**: producing valid results where an open-surface is not necessarily completely cutting through a solid.
 * **Concatenation**: merging a solids or open-surfaces with another.

-The source code is available for your perusal and evaluation. You can access right here on Github. This is an opportunity for you to trial and experiment with MCUT for your needs. Here is a quick example of how you clone and build the library:
-
-* `git clone https://github.com/cutdigital/mcut.git` 
-* `mkdir build`
-* `cd build`
-* `cmake ..` (see `CMakeLists.txt` for available build configuration options) 
-* run `make -j4` *IF* you are on Linux/MacOS terminal, *ELSE* open the generated `.sln` with e.g. Visual Studio
