Open Software License
v. 2.0

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 2.0

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,  for patent infringement (i) against Licensor with respect to a patent applicable to software or (ii) against any entity  with respect to a patent applicable to the Original Work (but excluding 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.
