| 11 | University, Copyright (c) 1993-2018, all rights reserved. Since DOC |
| 12 | software is open-source, freely available software, you are free to |
| 13 | use, modify, copy, and distribute--perpetually and irrevocably--the |
| 14 | DOC software source code and object code produced from the source, as |
| 15 | well as copy and distribute modified versions of this software. You |
| 16 | must, however, include this copyright statement along with any code |
| 17 | built using DOC software that you release. No copyright statement |
| 18 | needs to be provided if you just ship binary executables of your |
| 19 | software products. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | You can use DOC software in commercial and/or binary software releases |
| 22 | and are under no obligation to redistribute any of your source code |
| 23 | that is built using DOC software. Note, however, that you may not |
| 24 | misappropriate the DOC software code, such as copyrighting it yourself |
| 25 | or claiming authorship of the DOC software code, in a way that will |
| 26 | prevent DOC software from being distributed freely using an |
| 27 | open-source development model. You needn't inform anyone that you're |
| 28 | using DOC software in your software, though we encourage you to let |
| 29 | [10]us know so we can promote your project in the [11]DOC software |
| 30 | success stories. |

| 32 | The [12]ACE, [13]TAO, [14]CIAO, [15]DAnCE, and [16]CoSMIC web sites |
| 33 | are maintained by the [17]DOC Group at the [18]Institute for Software |
| 34 | Integrated Systems (ISIS) and the [19]Center for Distributed Object |
| 35 | Computing of Washington University, St. Louis for the development of |

| 37 | Submissions are provided by the submitter ``as is'' with no warranties |
| 38 | whatsoever, including any warranty of merchantability, noninfringement |
| 39 | of third party intellectual property, or fitness for any particular |
| 40 | purpose. In no event shall the submitter be liable for any direct, |
| 41 | indirect, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, |
| 42 | including without limitation, lost profits, even if advised of the |
| 43 | possibility of such damages. Likewise, DOC software is provided as is |
| 44 | with no warranties of any kind, including the warranties of design, |
| 45 | merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose, |
| 46 | noninfringement, or arising from a course of dealing, usage or trade |
| 47 | practice. Washington University, UC Irvine, Vanderbilt University, |
| 48 | their employees, and students shall have no liability with respect to |
| 49 | the infringement of copyrights, trade secrets or any patents by DOC |
| 50 | software or any part thereof. Moreover, in no event will Washington |
| 51 | University, UC Irvine, or Vanderbilt University, their employees, or |
| 52 | students be liable for any lost revenue or profits or other special, |
| 53 | indirect and consequential damages. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | DOC software is provided with no support and without any obligation on |
| 56 | the part of Washington University, UC Irvine, Vanderbilt University, |
| 57 | their employees, or students to assist in its use, correction, |
| 58 | modification, or enhancement. A [20]number of companies around the |
| 59 | world provide commercial support for DOC software, however. DOC |
| 60 | software is Y2K-compliant, as long as the underlying OS platform is |
| 61 | Y2K-compliant. Likewise, DOC software is compliant with the new US |
| 62 | daylight savings rule passed by Congress as "The Energy Policy Act of |
| 63 | 2005," which established new daylight savings times (DST) rules for |
| 64 | the United States that expand DST as of March 2007. Since DOC software |
| 65 | obtains time/date and calendaring information from operating systems |
| 66 | users will not be affected by the new DST rules as long as they |
| 67 | upgrade their operating systems accordingly. |
| 68 | |
