   IBM Public License Version 1.0
   
   THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS IBM
   PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF
   THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
   
   1. DEFINITIONS
   
   "Contribution" means:
   a) in the case of International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM"),
       the Original Program, and
       
   b) in the case of each Contributor,
       
   i) changes to the Program, and
       
   ii) additions to the Program;
       
   where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and
       are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution
       'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by
       such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's
       behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the Program
       which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in
       conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement,
       and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.
       
   "Contributor" means IBM and any other entity that distributes the
   Program.
   
   "Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor
   which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution
   alone or when combined with the Program.
   
   "Original Program" means the original version of the software
   accompanying this Agreement as released by IBM, including source code,
   object code and documentation, if any.
   
   "Program" means the Original Program and Contributions.
   
   "Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this
   Agreement, including all Contributors.
   
   2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
   a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby
       grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
       copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of,
       publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the
       Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative
       works, in source code and object code form.
       
   b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby
       grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent
       license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell,
       import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such
       Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This
       patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution
       and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the
       Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such
       combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent
       license shall not apply to any other combinations which include
       the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.
       
   c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the
       licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are
       provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the
       patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity.
       Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims
       brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual
       property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the
       rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby
       assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual
       property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party
       patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the
       Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license
       before distributing the Program.
       
   d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient
       copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the
       copyright license set forth in this Agreement.
       
   3. REQUIREMENTS
   
   A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form
   under its own license agreement, provided that:
   a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
       
   b) its license agreement:
       
   i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties
       and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or
       conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties
       or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular
       purpose;
       
   ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability
       for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and
       consequential damages, such as lost profits;
       
   iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are
       offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and
       
   iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such
       Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a
       reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for
       software exchange.
