   Academic Free License
   Version 1.2

 This Academic Free 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 Academic Free License version 1.2

 Grant of License. Licensor hereby grants to any person obtaining a
 copy of the Original Work ("You") a world-wide, royalty-free,
 non-exclusive, perpetual, non-sublicenseable license (1) to use, copy,
 modify, merge, publish, perform, distribute and/or sell copies of the
 Original Work and derivative works thereof, and (2) 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 thereof, subject to the
 following conditions.

 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.

 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.

 Warranty and Disclaimer of Warranty. Licensor warrants that the copyright
 in and to the Original Work is owned by the Licensor or that the Original
 Work is distributed by Licensor under a valid current license from the
 copyright owner. 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.

 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.

 License to Source Code. 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.

 Mutual 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 if You file a lawsuit in any court alleging that any OSI
 Certified open source software that is licensed under any license containing
 this "Mutual Termination for Patent Action" clause infringes any patent
 claims that are essential to use that software.

 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.

 This license is Copyright (C) 2002 Lawrence E. Rosen. All rights reserved.
 Permission is hereby granted to copy and distribute this license without
 modification. This license may not be modified without the express written
 permission of its copyright owner.

 END OF LICENSE. The following is intended to describe the essential
 differences between the Academic Free License (AFL) version 1.0 and other
 open source licenses:

 The Academic Free License is similar to the BSD, MIT, UoI/NCSA and Apache
 licenses in many respects but it is intended to solve a few problems with
 those licenses.

 * The AFL is written so as to make it clear what software is being
 licensed (by the inclusion of a statement following the copyright notice
 in the software). This way, the license functions better than a template
 license. The BSD, MIT and UoI/NCSA licenses apply to unidentified software.

 * The AFL contains a complete copyright grant to the software. The BSD
 and Apache licenses are vague and incomplete in that respect.

 * The AFL contains a complete patent grant to the software. The BSD, MIT,
 UoI/NCSA and Apache licenses rely on an implied patent license and contain
 no explicit patent grant.

 * The AFL makes it clear that no trademark rights are granted to the
 licensor`s trademarks. The Apache license contains such a provision, but the
 BSD, MIT and UoI/NCSA licenses do not.

 * The AFL includes the warranty by the licensor that it either owns the
 copyright or that it is distributing the software under a license. None of
 the other licenses contain that warranty. All other warranties are disclaimed,
 as is the case for the other licenses.

 * The AFL is itself copyrighted (with the right granted to copy and distribute
 without modification). This ensures that the owner of the copyright to the
 license will control changes. The Apache license contains a copyright notice,
 but the BSD, MIT and UoI/NCSA licenses do not.
