| [1]ACE(TM), [2]TAO(TM), [3]CIAO(TM), DAnCE(TM), and [4]CoSMIC(TM) |
| (henceforth referred to as "DOC software") are copyrighted by |
| [5]Douglas C. Schmidt and his [6]research group at [7]Washington |
| University, [8]University of California, Irvine, and [9]Vanderbilt |
| University, Copyright (c) 1993-2018, all rights reserved. Since DOC |
| software is open-source, freely available software, you are free to |
| use, modify, copy, and distribute--perpetually and irrevocably--the |
| DOC software source code and object code produced from the source, as |
| well as copy and distribute modified versions of this software. You |
| must, however, include this copyright statement along with any code |
| built using DOC software that you release. No copyright statement |
| needs to be provided if you just ship binary executables of your |
| software products. |
| |
| You can use DOC software in commercial and/or binary software releases |
| and are under no obligation to redistribute any of your source code |
| that is built using DOC software. Note, however, that you may not |
| misappropriate the DOC software code, such as copyrighting it yourself |
| or claiming authorship of the DOC software code, in a way that will |
| prevent DOC software from being distributed freely using an |
| open-source development model. You needn't inform anyone that you're |
| using DOC software in your software, though we encourage you to let |
| [10]us know so we can promote your project in the [11]DOC software |
| success stories. |

| The [12]ACE, [13]TAO, [14]CIAO, [15]DAnCE, and [16]CoSMIC web sites |
| are maintained by the [17]DOC Group at the [18]Institute for Software |
| Integrated Systems (ISIS) and the [19]Center for Distributed Object |
| Computing of Washington University, St. Louis for the development of |

| Submissions are provided by the submitter ``as is'' with no warranties |
| whatsoever, including any warranty of merchantability, noninfringement |
| of third party intellectual property, or fitness for any particular |
| purpose. In no event shall the submitter be liable for any direct, |
| indirect, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, |
| including without limitation, lost profits, even if advised of the |
| possibility of such damages. Likewise, DOC software is provided as is |
| with no warranties of any kind, including the warranties of design, |
| merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose, |
| noninfringement, or arising from a course of dealing, usage or trade |
| practice. Washington University, UC Irvine, Vanderbilt University, |
| their employees, and students shall have no liability with respect to |
| the infringement of copyrights, trade secrets or any patents by DOC |
| software or any part thereof. Moreover, in no event will Washington |
| University, UC Irvine, or Vanderbilt University, their employees, or |
| students be liable for any lost revenue or profits or other special, |
| indirect and consequential damages. |
| |
| DOC software is provided with no support and without any obligation on |
| the part of Washington University, UC Irvine, Vanderbilt University, |
| their employees, or students to assist in its use, correction, |
| modification, or enhancement. A [20]number of companies around the |
| world provide commercial support for DOC software, however. DOC |
| software is Y2K-compliant, as long as the underlying OS platform is |
| Y2K-compliant. Likewise, DOC software is compliant with the new US |
| daylight savings rule passed by Congress as "The Energy Policy Act of |
| 2005," which established new daylight savings times (DST) rules for |
| the United States that expand DST as of March 2007. Since DOC software |
| obtains time/date and calendaring information from operating systems |
| users will not be affected by the new DST rules as long as they |
| upgrade their operating systems accordingly. |
