+*     3b. Results based on modified source code or on runs not in
+*         accordance with the STREAM Run Rules must be clearly
+*         labelled whenever they are published.  Examples of
+*         proper labelling include:
+*         "tuned STREAM benchmark results" 
+*         "based on a variant of the STREAM benchmark code"
+*         Other comparable, clear and reasonable labelling is
+*         acceptable.
+*     3c. Submission of results to the STREAM benchmark web site
+*         is encouraged, but not required.
