  <p>Conditioned upon Your compliance with Section 3.1 below and
subject to third party intellectual property claims, the Initial
Developer hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive
license:</p>
  <blockquote>
    <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">(a)</span> under intellectual
property rights (other than patent or
trademark) Licensable by Initial Developer, to use, reproduce, modify,
display, perform, sublicense and distribute the Original Software (or
portions thereof), with or without Modifications, and/or as part of a
Larger Work; and</p>
    <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">(b)</span> under Patent Claims
infringed by the making, using or

and offer for sale, and/or otherwise dispose of the Original Software
(or portions thereof).</p>
    <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">(c)</span> The licenses granted
in Sections 2.1(a) and (b) are
effective on the date Initial Developer first distributes or otherwise
makes the Original Software available to a third party under the terms
of this License.</p>
    <span style="font-weight: bold;">(d)</span> Notwithstanding Section
2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted:
(1) for code that You delete from the Original Software, or (2) for
infringements caused by: (i) the modification of the Original Software,
or (ii) the combination of the Original Software with other software or
devices. </blockquote>
  <p style="font-weight: bold;">2.2. Contributor Grant.</p>
  <p>Conditioned upon Your compliance with Section 3.1 below and
subject to third party intellectual property claims, each Contributor
hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license:</p>
  <blockquote>
    <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">(a)</span> under intellectual
property rights (other than patent or
trademark) Licensable by Contributor to use, reproduce, modify,
display, perform, sublicense and distribute the Modifications created
by such Contributor (or portions thereof), either on an unmodified
basis, with other Modifications, as Covered Software and/or as part of
a Larger Work; and</p>
    <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">(b)</span> under Patent Claims
infringed by the making, using, or
selling of Modifications made by that Contributor either alone and/or
in combination with its Contributor Version (or portions of such
combination), to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or
otherwise dispose of: (1) Modifications made by that Contributor (or
portions thereof); and (2) the combination of Modifications made by
that Contributor with its Contributor Version (or portions of such
combination).</p>
    <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">(c)</span> The licenses granted
in Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b) are
effective on the date Contributor first distributes or otherwise makes
the Modifications available to a third party.</p>
    <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">(d)</span> Notwithstanding
Section 2.2(b) above, no patent license is
granted: (1) for any code that Contributor has deleted from the
Contributor Version; (2) for infringements caused by: (i) third party
modifications of Contributor Version, or (ii) the combination of
Modifications made by that Contributor with other software (except as
part of the Contributor Version) or other devices; or (3) under Patent
Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of Modifications
made by that Contributor.</p>
  </blockquote>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">3. Distribution Obligations.</p>
<blockquote>
  <p style="font-weight: bold;">3.1. Availability of Source Code.</p>
  <p>Any Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise make
available in Executable form must also be made available in Source Code
form and that Source Code form must be distributed only under the terms
of this License. You must include a copy of this License with every
copy of the Source Code form of the Covered Software You distribute or
otherwise make available. You must inform recipients of any such
Covered Software in Executable form as to how they can obtain such
Covered Software in Source Code form in a reasonable manner on or
through a medium customarily used for software exchange.</p>
  <p style="font-weight: bold;">3.2. Modifications.</p>
  <p>The Modifications that You create or to which You contribute are
governed by the terms of this License. You represent that You believe
Your Modifications are Your original creation(s) and/or You have
sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.</p>
  <p style="font-weight: bold;">3.3. Required Notices.</p>
  <p>You must include a notice in each of Your Modifications that
identifies You as the Contributor of the Modification. You may not
remove or alter any copyright, patent or trademark notices contained
within the Covered Software, or any notices of licensing or any
descriptive text giving attribution to any Contributor or the Initial
Developer.</p>
  <p style="font-weight: bold;">3.4. Application of Additional Terms.</p>
  <p>You may not offer or impose any terms on any Covered Software in
Source Code form that alters or restricts the applicable version of
this License or the recipients rights hereunder. You may choose to
offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or
liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Software.
However, you may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of
the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely
clear that any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability
obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify
the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred
by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty,
support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.</p>
  <p style="font-weight: bold;">3.5. Distribution of Executable
Versions.</p>
  <p>You may distribute the Executable form of the Covered Software
under the terms of this License or under the terms of a license of Your
choice, which may contain terms different from this License, provided
that You are in compliance with the terms of this License and that the
license for the Executable form does not attempt to limit or alter the
recipients rights in the Source Code form from the rights set forth in
this License. If You distribute the Covered Software in Executable form
under a different license, You must make it absolutely clear that any
terms which differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by
the Initial Developer or Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the
Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by
the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such terms
You offer.</p>
  <p style="font-weight: bold;">3.6. Larger Works.</p>
  <p>You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Software with
other code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the
Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the
requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Software.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">4. Versions of the License.</p>
<blockquote>
  <p style="font-weight: bold;">4.1. New Versions.</p>
  <p>Oracle Corp. is the initial license steward and may
publish revised and/or new versions of this License from time to time.
Each version will be given a distinguishing version number. Except as
provided in Section 4.3, no one other than the license steward has the
right to modify this License.</p>
  <p style="font-weight: bold;">4.2. Effect of New Versions.</p>
  <p>You may always continue to use, distribute or otherwise make the
Covered Software available under the terms of the version of the
License under which You originally received the Covered Software. If
the Initial Developer includes a notice in the Original Software
prohibiting it from being distributed or otherwise made available under
any subsequent version of the License, You must distribute and make the
Covered Software available under the terms of the version of the
License under which You originally received the Covered Software.
Otherwise, You may also choose to use, distribute or otherwise make the
Covered Software available under the terms of any subsequent version of
the License published by the license steward.</p>
  <p style="font-weight: bold;">4.3. Modified Versions.</p>
  <p>When You are an Initial Developer and You want to create a new
license for Your Original Software, You may create and use a modified
version of this License if You: (a) rename the license and remove any
references to the name of the license steward (except to note that the
license differs from this License); and (b) otherwise make it clear
that the license contains terms which differ from this License.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.</p>
<p>COVERED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS,
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED SOFTWARE IS FREE OF
DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING.
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED
SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN
ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR)
ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE.
NO USE OF ANY COVERED SOFTWARE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER
THIS DISCLAIMER.</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">6. TERMINATION.</p>
<blockquote>
  <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">6.1.</span> This License and the
rights granted hereunder will terminate
automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure
such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. Provisions
which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of
this License shall survive.</p>
  <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">6.2.</span> If You assert a
patent infringement claim (excluding
declaratory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a
Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You
assert such claim is referred to as "Participant") alleging that the
Participant Software (meaning the Contributor Version where the
Participant is a Contributor or the Original Software where the
Participant is the Initial Developer) directly or indirectly infringes
any patent, then any and all rights granted directly or indirectly to
You by such Participant, the Initial Developer (if the Initial
Developer is not the Participant) and all Contributors under Sections
2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days notice from
Participant terminate prospectively and automatically at the expiration
of such 60 day notice period, unless if within such 60 day period You
withdraw Your claim with respect to the Participant Software against
such Participant either unilaterally or pursuant to a written agreement
with Participant.</p>
  <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">6.3.</span> In the event of
termination under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above,
all end user licenses that have been validly granted by You or any
distributor hereunder prior to termination (excluding licenses granted
to You by any distributor) shall survive termination.</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.</p>
<p>UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL
DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED
SOFTWARE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY
PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOST
PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR
MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF
SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR
PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTYS 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.</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">8. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.</p>
<p>The Covered Software is a "commercial item," as that term is defined
in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer
software" (as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R.
252.227-7014(a)(1)) and "commercial computer software
documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995).
Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through
227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered
Software with only those rights set forth herein. This U.S. Government
Rights clause is in lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFAR, or
other clause or provision that addresses Government rights in computer
software under this License.</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">9. MISCELLANEOUS.</p>
<p>This License represents the complete agreement concerning 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. This License shall be governed by the
law of the jurisdiction specified in a notice contained within the
Original Software (except to the extent applicable law, if any,
provides otherwise), excluding such jurisdictions conflict-of-law
provisions. Any litigation relating to this License shall be subject to
the jurisdiction of the courts located in the jurisdiction and venue
specified in a notice contained within the Original Software, with the
losing party responsible for costs, including, without limitation,
court costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses. The
application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or
regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be
construed against the drafter shall not apply to this License. You
agree that You alone are responsible for compliance with the United
States export administration regulations (and the export control laws
and regulation of any other countries) when You use, distribute or
otherwise make available any Covered Software.</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.</p>
<p>As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is
responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly, out
of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to work
with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such
responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or
shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">NOTICE PURSUANT TO SECTION 9 OF THE
COMMON DEVELOPMENT AND
DISTRIBUTION LICENSE (CDDL)</p>
<p>The code released under the CDDL shall be governed by the laws of
the State of California (excluding conflict-of-law provisions). Any
litigation relating to this License shall be subject to the
jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern District of
California and the state courts of the State of California, with venue
lying in Santa Clara County, California.

<h3>The GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2, June 1991
</h3>
<br>
<p>Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple
Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA</p>
<p>Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
license document, but changing it is not allowed.</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">Preamble</p>
<p>The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.</p>
<p>When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in
new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.</p>
<p>To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.</p>
<p>For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.</p>
<p>We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software,
and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to
copy, distribute and/or modify the software.</p>
<p>Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.</p>
<p>Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.</p>
<p>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">0.</span> This License applies to
any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the
copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this
General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such
program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the
Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter,
translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)
Each licensee is addressed as "you".</p>
<p>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running
the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is
covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that
is true depends on what the Program does.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">1.</span> You may copy and
distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive
it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of
warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to
the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
Program a copy of this License along with the Program.</p>
<p>You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
fee.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">2.</span> You may modify your copy
or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work
based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or
work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet
all of these conditions:</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.</p>
  <p>b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part
thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
under the terms of this License.</p>
  <p>c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive
use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no
warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users
may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the
user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program
itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement,
your work based on the Program is not required to print an
announcement.)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
it.</p>
<p>Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or
contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent
is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.</p>
<p>In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a
volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other
work under the scope of this License.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">3.</span> You may copy and
distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in
object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above provided that you also do one of the following:</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,</p>
  <p>b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of
physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable
copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
software interchange; or,</p>
  <p>c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed
only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the
program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord
with Subsection b above.)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special
exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that
is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the
major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system
on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable.</p>
<p>If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access
to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of
the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy
the source along with the object code.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">4.</span> You may not copy, modify,
sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided
under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense
or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
your rights under this License. However, parties who have received
copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">5.</span> You are not required to
accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing
else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its
derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not
accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the
Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your
acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions
for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">6.</span> Each time you
redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the
recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor
to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and
conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the
recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">7.</span> If, as a consequence of a
court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other
reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you
(whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions
of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other
pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the
Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit
royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive
copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could
satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the Program.</p>
<p>If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in
other circumstances.</p>
<p>It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous
contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that
system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up
to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
choice.</p>
<p>This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed
to be a consequence of the rest of this License.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">8.</span> If the distribution
and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by
patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who
places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution
is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such
case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the
body of this License.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">9.</span> The Free Software
Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General
Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
problems or concerns.</p>
<p>Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it
and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version
number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by
the Free Software Foundation.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">10.</span> If you wish to
incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose
distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make
exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of
preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.</p>
<p>NO WARRANTY</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">11.</span> BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS
LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN
WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM
"AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK
AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD
THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">12.</span> IN NO EVENT UNLESS
REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF
THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY
OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.</p>
<p>END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS</p>
<p style="font-weight: bold;">How to Apply These Terms to Your New
Programs</p>
<p>If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
terms.</p>
<p>To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it
does.</p>
  <p>Copyright (C)</p>
  <p>This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the
License, or (at your option) any later version.</p>
  <p>This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
General Public License for more details.</p>
  <p>You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation,
Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper
mail.</p>
<p>If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like
this when it starts in an interactive mode:</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author<br>
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type
`show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the
commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show
c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
program.</p>
<p>You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program,
if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:</p>
<blockquote>
  <p>Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by
James Hacker.</p>
  <p>signature of Ty Coon, 1 April 1989<br>
Ty Coon, President of Vice</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This General Public License does not permit incorporating your
program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine
library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the
GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.</p>

<p style="font-weight: bold;">"CLASSPATH" EXCEPTION TO THE GPL VERSION 2</p>
<p>
Certain source files distributed by Oracle America, Inc.
and/or its affiliates are subject to the following
clarification and special exception to the GPLv2, based on
the GNU Project exception for its Classpath libraries, known
as the GNU Classpath Exception, but only where Oracle has
expressly included in the particular source file's header
the words "Oracle designates this particular file as subject
to the "Classpath" exception as provided by Oracle in the
LICENSE file that accompanied this code."
</p>
<p>
You should also note that Oracle includes multiple,
independent programs in this software package. Some of those
programs are provided under licenses deemed incompatible
with the GPLv2 by the Free Software Foundation and others.
For example, the package includes programs licensed under
the Apache License, Version 2.0.  Such programs are licensed
to you under their original licenses.
</p>
<p>
Oracle facilitates your further distribution of this package
by adding the Classpath Exception to the necessary parts of
its GPLv2 code, which permits you to use that code in
combination with other independent modules not licensed
under the GPLv2.  However, note that this would not permit
you to commingle code under an incompatible license with
Oracle's GPLv2 licensed code by, for example, cutting and
pasting such code into a file also containing Oracle's GPLv2
licensed code and then distributing the result.
</p>
<p>
Additionally, if you were to remove the Classpath Exception
from any of the files to which it applies and distribute the
result, you would likely be required to license some or all
of the other code in that distribution under the GPLv2 as
well, and since the GPLv2 is incompatible with the license
terms of some items included in the distribution by Oracle,
removing the Classpath Exception could therefore effectively
compromise your ability to further distribute the package.
</p>
<p>
Proceed with caution and we recommend that you obtain the
advice of a lawyer skilled in open source matters before
removing the Classpath Exception or making modifications to
this package which may subsequently be redistributed and/or
involve the use of third party software.
</p>
<p>
CLASSPATH EXCEPTION
</p>
<p>
Linking this library statically or dynamically with other
modules is making a combined work based on this library.
Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public
License version 2 cover the whole combination.
</p>
<p>
As a special exception, the copyright holders of this
library give you permission to link this library with
independent modules to produce an executable, regardless of
the license terms of these independent modules, and to copy
and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your
choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked
independent module, the terms and conditions of the license
of that module.  An independent module is a module which is
not derived from or based on this library.  If you modify
this library, you may extend this exception to your version
of the library, but you are not obligated to do so.  If you
do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from
your version.</p>
