Common Public License 1.0

THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON 
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 the initial Contributor, the initial code and
     documentation distributed under this Agreement, and

     b) in the case of each subsequent 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 any person or 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.

"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this 
Agreement. 

"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.  

When the Program is made available in source code form:

     a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and

     b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the
     Program.

Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained 
within the Program.

Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its 
Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent 
Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution. 

4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION 

Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities
with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this
license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the
Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering
should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for
other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in
a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial
Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other
Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and
costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other
legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified
Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such
Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the
Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this
section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or
alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an
Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial
Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial
Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor
in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified
Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.

For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial
product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial
Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance
claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance
claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility
alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to
defend claims against the other Contributors related to those
performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other
Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor
must pay those damages.

5. NO WARRANTY

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS 
PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY 
KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY 
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR 
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible 
for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the 
Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights 
under this Agreement, including but not limited to the risks and costs 
of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss 
of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of 
operations. 

6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY 

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR 
ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, 
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING 
WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF 
LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING 
NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR 
DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED 
HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 

7. GENERAL

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under 
applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of 
the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further 
action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the 
minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable. 

If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with 
respect to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or 
counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that 
Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as 
of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient 
institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-
claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself 
(excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) 
infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights 
granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such 
litigation is filed.

All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails 
to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this 
Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time 
after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights 
under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and 
distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, 
Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted 
by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive. 

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, 
but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and 
may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward 
reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of 
this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement 
Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. IBM is the initial 
Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the responsibility to serve as the 
Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of 
the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The 
Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to 
the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, 
after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may 
elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the 
new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) 
above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual 
property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by 
implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not 
expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved. 

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the 
intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to 
this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than 
one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights 
to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.
