Since DOC software is open-source, freely available software,
|

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

DOC Group at the Institute for Software Integrated Systems (ISIS)

| 29 |
and the Center for Distributed Object Computing of Washington
|
| 30 |
University, St. Louis for the development of open-source software
|
| 31 |
as part of the open-source software community. Submissions are
|
| 32 |
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,
|
| 37 |
including without limitation, lost profits, even if advised of the
|
| 38 |
possibility of such damages. Likewise, DOC software is provided
|
| 39 |
as is with no warranties of any kind, including the warranties
|
| 40 |
of design, merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose,
|
| 41 |
noninfringement, or arising from a course of dealing, usage or trade
|
| 42 |
practice. Washington University, UC Irvine, Vanderbilt University,
|

their employees, and students shall have no liability with respect to
|
| 44 |
the infringement of copyrights, trade secrets or any patents by DOC
|
| 45 |
software or any part thereof. Moreover, in no event will Washington

University, UC Irvine, or Vanderbilt University, their employees, or

DOC software is provided with no support and without any obligation on
|
| 51 |
the part of Washington University, UC Irvine, Vanderbilt University,
|
| 52 |
their employees, or students to assist in its use, correction,
|
| 53 |
modification, or enhancement. A number of companies around the world
|
| 54 |
provide commercial support for DOC software, however.
|
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
DOC software is Y2K-compliant, as long as the underlying OS platform
|
| 57 |
is Y2K-compliant. Likewise, DOC software is compliant with the new US
|
| 58 |
daylight savings rule passed by Congress as "The Energy Policy Act
|
| 59 |
of 2005," which established new daylight savings times (DST) rules
|
| 60 |
for the United States that expand DST as of March 2007. Since DOC
|
| 61 |
software obtains time/date and calendaring information from operating
|
| 62 |
systems users will not be affected by the new DST rules as long as
|
| 63 |
they upgrade their operating systems accordingly.
