Open Software License
v. 2.1
This Open Software License (the "License") applies to any original work 
of authorship (the "Original Work") whose owner (the "Licensor") has 
placed the following notice immediately following the copyright notice 
for the Original Work:

Licensed under the Open Software License version 2.1

1) Grant of Copyright License. Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide, 
royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, sublicenseable license to do 
the following:

   a) to reproduce the Original Work in copies;
   b) to prepare derivative works ("Derivative Works") based upon the
      Original Work;
   c) to distribute copies of the Original Work and Derivative Works to
      the public, with the proviso that copies of Original Work or
      Derivative Works that You distribute shall be licensed under the
      Open Software License;
   d) to perform the Original Work publicly; and
   e) to display the Original Work publicly. 

2) Grant of Patent License. Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide, 
royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, sublicenseable license, under 
patent claims owned or controlled by the Licensor that are embodied in 
the Original Work as furnished by the Licensor, to make, use, sell and 
offer for sale the Original Work and Derivative Works.

3) Grant of Source Code License. The term "Source Code" means the 
preferred form of the Original Work for making modifications to it and 
all available documentation describing how to modify the Original Work. 
Licensor hereby agrees to provide a machine-readable copy of the Source 
Code of the Original Work along with each copy of the Original Work 
that Licensor distributes. Licensor reserves the right to satisfy this 
obligation by placing a machine-readable copy of the Source Code in an 
information repository reasonably calculated to permit inexpensive and 
convenient access by You for as long as Licensor continues to 
distribute the Original Work, and by publishing the address of that 
information repository in a notice immediately following the copyright 
notice that applies to the Original Work.

4) Exclusions From License Grant. Neither the names of Licensor, nor 
the names of any contributors to the Original Work, nor any of their 
trademarks or service marks, may be used to endorse or promote products 
derived from this Original Work without express prior written 
permission of the Licensor. Nothing in this License shall be deemed to 
grant any rights to trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets or 
any other intellectual property of Licensor except as expressly stated 
herein. No patent license is granted to make, use, sell or offer to 
sell embodiments of any patent claims other than the licensed claims 
defined in Section 2. No right is granted to the trademarks of Licensor 
even if such marks are included in the Original Work. Nothing in this 
License shall be interpreted to prohibit Licensor from licensing under 
different terms from this License any Original Work that Licensor 
otherwise would have a right to license.

5) External Deployment. The term "External Deployment" means the use or 
distribution of the Original Work or Derivative Works in any way such 
that the Original Work or Derivative Works may be used by anyone other 
than You, whether the Original Work or Derivative Works are distributed 
to those persons or made available as an application intended for use 
over a computer network. As an express condition for the grants of 
license hereunder, You agree that any External Deployment by You of a 
Derivative Work shall be deemed a distribution and shall be licensed to 
all under the terms of this License, as prescribed in section 1(c) 
herein.

6) Attribution Rights. You must retain, in the Source Code of any 
Derivative Works that You create, all copyright, patent or trademark 
notices from the Source Code of the Original Work, as well as any 
notices of licensing and any descriptive text identified therein as an 
"Attribution Notice." You must cause the Source Code for any Derivative 
Works that You create to carry a prominent Attribution Notice 
reasonably calculated to inform recipients that You have modified the 
Original Work.

7) Warranty of Provenance and Disclaimer of Warranty. Licensor warrants 
that the copyright in and to the Original Work and the patent rights 
granted herein by Licensor are owned by the Licensor or are sublicensed 
to You under the terms of this License with the permission of the 
contributor(s) of those copyrights and patent rights. Except as 
expressly stated in the immediately proceeding sentence, the Original 
Work is provided under this License on an "AS IS" BASIS and WITHOUT 
WARRANTY, either express or implied, including, without limitation, the 
warranties of NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A 
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL 
WORK IS WITH YOU. This DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY constitutes an essential 
part of this License. No license to Original Work is granted hereunder 
except under this disclaimer.

8) Limitation of Liability. Under no circumstances and under no legal 
theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, 
shall the Licensor be liable to any person for any direct, indirect, 
special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising 
as a result of this License or the use of the Original Work including, 
without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, 
computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial 
damages or losses. This limitation of liability shall not apply to 
liability for death or personal injury resulting from Licensor's 
negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some 
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or 
consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may not apply 
to You.

9) Acceptance and Termination. If You distribute copies of the Original 
Work or a Derivative Work, You must make a reasonable effort under the 
circumstances to obtain the express assent of recipients to the terms 
of this License. Nothing else but this License (or another written 
agreement between Licensor and You) grants You permission to create 
Derivative Works based upon the Original Work or to exercise any of the 
rights granted in Section 1 herein, and any attempt to do so except 
under the terms of this License (or another written agreement between 
Licensor and You) is expressly prohibited by U.S. copyright law, the 
equivalent laws of other countries, and by international treaty. 
Therefore, by exercising any of the rights granted to You in Section 1 
herein, You indicate Your acceptance of this License and all of its 
terms and conditions. This License shall terminate immediately and you 
may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to You by this License 
upon Your failure to honor the proviso in Section 1(c) herein.

10) Termination for Patent Action. This License shall terminate 
automatically and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted 
to You by this License as of the date You commence an action, including 
a cross-claim or counterclaim, against Licensor or any licensee 
alleging that the Original Work infringes a patent. This termination 
provision shall not apply for an action alleging patent infringement by 
combinations of the Original Work with other software or hardware.

11) Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. Any action or suit relating 
to this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction 
wherein the Licensor resides or in which Licensor conducts its primary 
business, and under the laws of that jurisdiction excluding its 
conflict-of-law provisions. The application of the United Nations 
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is 
expressly excluded. Any use of the Original Work outside the scope of 
this License or after its termination shall be subject to the 
requirements and penalties of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 
et seq., the equivalent laws of other countries, and international 
treaty. This section shall survive the termination of this License.

12) Attorneys Fees. In any action to enforce the terms of this License 
or seeking damages relating thereto, the prevailing party shall be 
entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including, without 
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection 
with such action, including any appeal of such action. This section 
shall survive the termination of this License.

13) Miscellaneous. This License represents the complete agreement 
concerning the subject matter hereof. If any provision of this License 
is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to 
the extent necessary to make it enforceable.

14) Definition of "You" in This License. "You" throughout this License, 
whether in upper or lower case, means an individual or a legal entity 
exercising rights under, and complying with all of the terms of, this 
License. For legal entities, "You" includes any entity that controls, 
is controlled by, or is under common control with you. For purposes of 
this definition, "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to 
cause the direction or management of such entity, whether by contract 
or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the 
outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.

15) Right to Use. You may use the Original Work in all ways not 
otherwise restricted or conditioned by this License or by law, and 
Licensor promises not to interfere with or be responsible for such uses 
by You.

license without modification. This license may not be modified without
