Open Software License version 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:
1. to reproduce the Original Work in copies;
2. to prepare derivative works ("Derivative Works") based upon the
Original Work;
3. 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;
4. to perform the Original Work publicly; and
5. 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.

without modification. This license may not be modified without the express
written permission of its copyright owner.
