ADAPTIVE PUBLIC LICENSE Version 1.0
THE LICENSED WORK IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ADAPTIVE
PUBLIC LICENSE ("LICENSE"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION
OF THE LICENSED WORK CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS
LICENSE AND ITS TERMS, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH RECIPIENT READS THE
TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. "LICENSED WORK" AND "RECIPIENT" ARE
DEFINED BELOW.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This License is "adaptive", and the generic version or another
version of an Adaptive Public License should not be relied upon to determine your rights
and obligations under this License. You must read the specific Adaptive Public License
that you receive with the Licensed Work, as certain terms are defined at the outset by the
Initial Contributor.
See Section 2.2 below, Exhibit A attached, and any Suppfile.txt accompanying this
License to determine the specific adaptive features applicable to this License. For
example, without limiting the foregoing, (a) for selected choice of law and jurisdiction
see Part 3 of Exhibit A; (b) for the selected definition of Third Party see Part 4 of Exhibit
A; and (c) for selected patent licensing terms (if any) see Section 2.2 below and Part 6 of
Exhibit A.
1. DEFINITIONS.
1.1. "CONTRIBUTION" means:
(a) In the case of the Initial Contributor, the Initial Work distributed under this License
by the Initial Contributor; and
(b) In the case of each Subsequent Contributor, the Subsequent Work originating from
and distributed by such Subsequent Contributor.
1.2. "DESIGNATED WEB SITE" means the web site having the URL identified in Part
1 of Exhibit A, which URL may be changed by the Initial Contributor by posting on the
current Designated Web Site the new URL for at least sixty (60) days.

jurisdiction identified in Part 3 of Exhibit A.
1.7. "INDEPENDENT MODULE" means a separate module of software and/or data that
is not a derivative work of or copied from the Licensed Work or any portion thereof. In
addition, a module does not qualify as an Independent Module but instead forms part of
the Licensed Work if the module: (a) is embedded in the Licensed Work; (b) is included
by reference in the Licensed Work other than by a function call or a class reference; or
(c) must be included or contained, in whole or in part, within a file directory or
subdirectory actually containing files making up the Licensed Work.

Code, object code and documentation is distributed under this License by the Initial
Contributor.
1.10. "LARGER WORK" means a work that combines the Licensed Work or portions
thereof with code not governed by this License.
1.11. "LICENSED WORK" means the Initial Work and/or any Subsequent Work, in
each case including portions thereof.

under this License (by way of example, without limiting the foregoing, any Subsequent
Contributor or Distributor).
1.16. "SOURCE CODE" means the source code for a computer program, including the
source code for all modules and components of the computer program, plus any
associated interface definition files, and scripts used to control compilation and
installation of an executable.
1.17. "SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTOR" means any Person that makes or contributes
to the making of any Subsequent Work and that distributes that Subsequent Work to at
least one Third Party.
1.18. "SUBSEQUENT WORK" means a work that has resulted or arises from changes to
and/or additions to:
(a) the Initial Work;
(b) any other Subsequent Work; or
(c) to any combination of the Initial Work and any such other Subsequent Work;
where such changes and/or additions originate from a Subsequent Contributor. A
Subsequent Work will "originate" from a Subsequent Contributor if the Subsequent Work
was a result of efforts by such Subsequent Contributor (or anyone acting on such
Subsequent Contributor's behalf, such as, a contractor or other entity that is engaged by
or under the direction of the Subsequent Contributor). For greater certainty, a Subsequent

1.20. "THIRD PARTY" has the meaning assigned in Part 4 of Exhibit A.
2. LICENSE.
2.1. COPYRIGHT LICENSE FROM INITIAL AND SUBSEQUENT
CONTRIBUTORS.
(a) Subject to the terms of this License, the Initial Contributor hereby grants each
Recipient a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive copyright license to:
(i) reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute
and sublicense the Initial Work; and
(ii) reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, and sublicense any
derivative works (if any) prepared by Recipient;
in Source Code and Executable form, either with other Modifications, on an unmodified
basis, or as part of a Larger Work.
(b) Subject to the terms of this License, each Subsequent Contributor hereby grants each
Recipient a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive copyright license to:
(i) reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute
and sublicense the Subsequent Work of such Subsequent Contributor; and
(ii) reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, and sublicense any
derivative works (if any) prepared by Recipient;
in Source Code and Executable form, either with other Modifications, on an unmodified
basis, or as part of a Larger Work.
2.2. PATENT LICENSE FROM INITIAL AND SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTORS.
(a) This License does not include or grant any patent license whatsoever from the Initial
Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, or any Distributor unless, at the time the Initial
Work is first distributed or made available under this License (as the case may be), the
Initial Contributor has selected pursuant to Part 6 of Exhibit A the patent terms in
paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of Exhibit A. If this is not done then the Initial
Work and any other Subsequent Work is made available under the License without any
patent license (the "PATENTS-EXCLUDED LICENSE").
(b) However, the Initial Contributor may subsequently distribute or make available (as
the case may be) future copies of: (1) the Initial Work; or (2) any Licensed Work
distributed by the Initial Contributor which includes the Initial Work (or any portion
thereof) and/or any Modification made by the Initial Contributor; available under a
License which includes a patent license (the "PATENTS-INCLUDED LICENSE") by
selecting pursuant to Part 6 of Exhibit A the patent terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E
from Part 6 of Exhibit A, when the Initial Contributor distributes or makes available (as
the case may be) such future copies under this License.
(c) If any Recipient receives or obtains one or more copies of the Initial Work or any
other portion of the Licensed Work under the Patents-Included License, then all licensing
of such copies under this License shall include the terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E
from Part 6 of Exhibit A and that Recipient shall not be able to rely upon the Patents-
Excluded License for any such copies. However, all Recipients that receive one or more
copies of the Initial Work or any other portion of the Licensed Work under a copy of the
License which includes the Patents-Excluded License shall have no patent license with
respect to such copies received under the Patents-Excluded License and availability and
distribution of such copies, including Modifications made by such Recipient to such
copies, shall be under a copy of the License without any patent license.
(d) Where a Recipient uses in combination or combines any copy of the Licensed Work
(or portion thereof) licensed under a copy of the License having a Patents-Excluded
License with any copy of the Licensed Work (or portion thereof) licensed under a copy of
the License having a Patents-Included License, the combination (and any portion thereof)
shall, from the first time such Recipient uses, makes available or distributes the
combination (as the case may be), be subject to only the terms of the License having the
Patents-Included License which shall include the terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E
from Part 6 of Exhibit A.
2.3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND DISCLAIMER.
Recipient understands and agrees that although Initial Contributor and each Subsequent
Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no representation,
warranty, guarantee or assurance is provided by any Initial Contributor, Subsequent
Contributor, or Distributor that the Licensed Work does not infringe the patent or other
intellectual property rights of any other entity. Initial Contributor, Subsequent
Contributor, and each Distributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought
by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise, in
relation to the Licensed Works. 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, without limiting the foregoing
disclaimers, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the
Licensed Work, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing
the Licensed Work.
2.4. RESERVATION.
Nothing in this License shall be deemed to grant any rights to trademarks, copyrights,
patents, trade secrets or any other intellectual property of Initial Contributor, Subsequent
Contributor, or Distributor except as expressly stated herein.
3. DISTRIBUTION OBLIGATIONS.
3.1. DISTRIBUTION GENERALLY.
(a) A Subsequent Contributor shall make that Subsequent Contributor's Subsequent
Work(s) available to the public via an Electronic Distribution Mechanism for a period of
at least twelve (12) months. The aforesaid twelve (12) month period shall begin within a
reasonable time after the creation of the Subsequent Work and no later than sixty (60)
days after first distribution of that Subsequent Contributor's Subsequent Work.
(b) All Distributors must distribute the Licensed Work in accordance with the terms of
the License, and must include a copy of this License (including without limitation Exhibit
A and the accompanying Supplement File) with each copy of the Licensed Work
distributed. In particular, this License must be prominently distributed with the Licensed
Work in a file called "license.txt." In addition, the License Notice in Part 5 of Exhibit A
must be included at the beginning of all Source Code files, and viewable to a user in any
executable such that the License Notice is reasonably brought to the attention of any
party using the Licensed Work.
3.2. EXECUTABLE DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE LICENSED WORK.
A Distributor may choose to distribute the Licensed Work, or any portion thereof, in
Executable form (an "EXECUTABLE DISTRIBUTION") to any third party, under the
terms of Section 2 of this License, provided the Executable Distribution is made available
under and accompanied by a copy of this License, AND provided at least ONE of the
following conditions is fulfilled:
(a) The Executable Distribution must be accompanied by the Source Code for the
Licensed Work making up the Executable Distribution, and the Source Code must be
distributed on the same media as the Executable Distribution or using an Electronic
Distribution Mechanism; or
(b) The Executable Distribution must be accompanied with a written offer, valid for at
least thirty six (36) months, to give any third party under the terms of this License, for a
charge no more than the cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the Source Code for the Licensed Work making up the
Executable Distribution, to be available and distributed using an Electronic Distribution
Mechanism, and such Executable Distribution must remain available in Source Code
form to any third party via the Electronic Distribution Mechanism (or any replacement
Electronic Distribution Mechanism the particular Distributor may reasonably need to turn
to as a substitute) for said at least thirty six (36) months.
For greater certainty, the above-noted requirements apply to any Licensed Work or
portion thereof distributed to any third party in Executable form, whether such
distribution is made alone, in combination with a Larger Work or Independent Modules,
or in some other combination.
3.3. SOURCE CODE DISTRIBUTIONS.
When a Distributor makes the Licensed Work, or any portion thereof, available to any
Person in Source Code form, it must be made available under this License and a copy of
this License must be included with each copy of the Source Code, situated so that the
copy of the License is conspicuously brought to the attention of that Person. For greater
clarification, this Section 3.3 applies to all distribution of the Licensed Work in any
Source Code form. A Distributor may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
copy, which charge shall be no more than the cost of physically performing source
distribution.
3.4. REQUIRED NOTICES IN SOURCE CODE.
Each Subsequent Contributor must ensure that the notice set out in Part 5 of Exhibit A is
included in each file of the Source Code for each Subsequent Work originating from that
particular Subsequent Contributor, if such notice is not already included in each such file.
If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure,
then the Subsequent Contributor must include such notice in a location (such as a relevant
directory in which the file is stored) where a user would be likely to look for such a
notice.
3.5. NO DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERNALLY USED
MODIFICATIONS.
Notwithstanding Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, Recipient may, internally within its own
corporation or organization use the Licensed Work, including the Initial Work and
Subsequent Works, and make Modifications for internal use within Recipient's own
corporation or organization (collectively, "INTERNAL USE MODIFICATIONS"). The
Recipient shall have no obligation to distribute, in either Source Code or Executable
form, any such Internal Use Modifications made by Recipient in the course of such
internal use, except where required below in this Section 3.5. All Internal Use
Modifications distributed to any Person, whether or not a Third Party, shall be distributed
pursuant to and be accompanied by the terms of this License. If the Recipient chooses to
distribute any such Internal Use Modifications to any Third Party, then the Recipient
shall be deemed a Subsequent Contributor, and any such Internal Use Modifications
distributed to any Third Party shall be deemed a Subsequent Work originating from that
Subsequent Contributor, and shall from the first such instance become part of the
Licensed Work that must thereafter be distributed and made available to third parties in
accordance with the terms of Sections 3.1 to 3.4 inclusive.
3.6. INDEPENDENT MODULES.
This License shall not apply to Independent Modules of any Initial Contributor,
Subsequent Contributor, Distributor or any Recipient, and such Independent Modules
may be licensed or made available under one or more separate license agreements.
3.7. LARGER WORKS.
Any Distributor or Recipient may create or contribute to a Larger Work by combining
any of the Licensed Work with other code not governed by the terms of this License, and
may distribute the Larger Work as one or more products. However, in any such case,
Distributor or Recipient (as the case may be) must make sure that the requirements of this
License are fulfilled for the Licensed Work portion of the Larger Work.
3.8. DESCRIPTION OF DISTRIBUTED MODIFICATIONS.
(a) Each Subsequent Contributor (including the Initial Contributor where the Initial
Contributor also qualifies as a Subsequent Contributor) must cause each Subsequent
Work created or contributed to by that Subsequent Contributor to contain a file
documenting the changes, in accordance with the requirements of Part 1 of the
Supplement File, that such Subsequent Contributor made in the creation or contribution
to that Subsequent Work. If no Supplement File exists or no requirements are set out in
Part 1 of the Supplement File, then there are no requirements for Subsequent Contributors
to document changes that they make resulting in Subsequent Works.
(b) The Initial Contributor may at any time introduce requirements or add to or change
earlier requirements (in each case, the "EARLIER DESCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS")
for documenting changes resulting in Subsequent Works by revising Part 1 of each copy
of the Supplement File distributed by the Initial Contributor with future copies of the
Licensed Work so that Part 1 then contains new requirements (the "NEW
DESCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS") for documenting such changes.
(c) Any Recipient receiving at any time any copy of an Initial Work or any Subsequent
Work under a copy of this License (in each case, an "Earlier LICENSED COPY") having
the Earlier Description Requirements may choose, with respect to each such Earlier
Licensed Copy, to comply with the Earlier Description Requirements or the New
Description Requirements. Where a Recipient chooses to comply with the New
Description Requirements, that Recipient will, when thereafter distributing any copies of
any such Earlier Licensed Copy, include a Supplement File having a section entitled Part
1 that contains a copy of the New Description Requirements.
(d) For greater certainty, the intent of Part 1 of the Supplement File is to provide a
mechanism (if any) by which Subsequent Contributors must document changes that they
make to the Licensed Work resulting in Subsequent Works. Part 1 of any Supplement
File shall not be used to increase or reduce the scope of the license granted in Article 2 of
this License or in any other way increase or decrease the rights and obligations of any
Recipient, and shall at no time serve as the basis for terminating the License. Further, a
Recipient can be required to correct and change its documentation procedures to comply
with Part 1 of the Supplement File, but cannot be penalised with damages. Part 1 of any
Supplement File is only binding on each Recipient of any Licensed Work to the extent
Part 1 sets out the requirements for documenting changes to the Initial Work or any
Subsequent Work.
(e) An example of a set of requirements for documenting changes and contributions
made by Subsequent Contributor is set out in Part 7 of Exhibit A of this License. Part 7 is
a sample only and is not binding on Recipients, unless (subject to the earlier paragraphs
of this Section 3.8) those are the requirements that the Initial Contributor includes in Part
1 of the Supplement File with the copies of the Initial Work distributed under this
License.
3.9. USE OF DISTRIBUTOR NAME.
The name of a Distributor may not be used by any other Distributor to endorse or
promote the Licensed Work or products derived from the Licensed Work, without prior
written permission.
3.10. LIMITED RECOGNITION OF INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR.
(a) As a modest attribution to the Initial Contributor, in the hope that its promotional
value may help justify the time, money and effort invested in writing the Initial Work, the
Initial Contributor may include in Part 2 of the Supplement File a requirement that each
time an executable program resulting from the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, or a
program dependent thereon, is launched or run, a prominent display of the Initial
Contributor's attribution information must occur (the "ATTRIBUTION
INFORMATION"). The Attribution Information must be included at the beginning of
each Source Code file. For greater certainty, the Initial Contributor may specify in the
Supplement File that the above attribution requirement only applies to an executable
program resulting from the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, but not a program
dependent thereon. The intent is to provide for reasonably modest attribution, therefore
the Initial Contributor may not require Recipients to display, at any time, more than the
following Attribution Information: (a) a copyright notice including the name of the Initial
Contributor; (b) a word or one phrase (not exceeding 10 words); (c) one digital image or
graphic provided with the Initial Work; and (d) a URL (collectively, the
"ATTRIBUTION LIMITS").
(b) If no Supplement File exists, or no Attribution Information is set out in Part 2 of the
Supplement File, then there are no requirements for Recipients to display any Attribution
Information of the Initial Contributor.
(c) Each Recipient acknowledges that all trademarks, service marks and/or trade names
contained within Part 2 of the Supplement File distributed with the Licensed Work are
the exclusive property of the Initial Contributor and may only be used with the
permission of the Initial Contributor, or under circumstances otherwise permitted by law,
or as expressly set out in this License.
3.11. For greater certainty, any description or attribution provisions contained within a
Supplement File may only be used to specify the nature of the description or attribution
requirements, as the case may be. Any provision in a Supplement File that otherwise
purports to modify, vary, nullify or amend any right, obligation or representation
contained herein shall be deemed void to that extent, and shall be of no force or effect.
4. COMMERCIAL USE AND INDEMNITY.
4.1. COMMERCIAL SERVICES.
A Recipient ("COMMERCIAL RECIPIENT") may choose to offer, and to charge a fee
for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations (collectively, "SERVICES") to
one or more other Recipients or Distributors. However, such Commercial Recipient may
do so only on that Commercial Recipient's own behalf, and not on behalf of any other
Distributor or Recipient, and Commercial Recipient must make it clear than any such
warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation(s) is/are offered by Commercial
Recipient alone. At no time may Commercial Recipient use any Services to deny any
party the Licensed Work in Source Code or Executable form when so required under any
of the other terms of this License. For greater certainty, this Section 4.1 does not diminish
any of the other terms of this License, including without limitation the obligation of the
Commercial Recipient as a Distributor, when distributing any of the Licensed Work in
Source Code or Executable form, to make such distribution royalty-free (subject to the
right to charge a fee of no more than the cost of physically performing Source Code or
Executable distribution (as the case may be)).
4.2. INDEMNITY.
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 Licensed Work, the Distributor who includes any of the Licensed
Work in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create
potential liability for other Distributors. Therefore, if a Distributor includes the Licensed
Work in a commercial product offering or offers any Services, such Distributor
("COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTOR") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other
Distributor or Subsequent Contributor (in each case an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY")
against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "LOSSES") arising from claims,
lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Party to
the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Distributor in connection
with its distribution of any of the Licensed Work in a commercial product offering or in
connection with any Services. 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 Party must: (a) promptly notify the Commercial Distributor in
writing of such claim; and (b) allow the Commercial Distributor to control, and co-
operate with the Commercial Distributor in, the defense and any related settlement
negotiations. The Indemnified Party may participate in any such claim at its own
expense.
5. VERSIONS OF THE LICENSE.
5.1. NEW VERSIONS.
The Initial Contributor may publish revised and/or new versions of the License from
time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
5.2. EFFECT OF NEW VERSIONS.
Once the Licensed Work or any portion thereof has been published by Initial Contributor
under a particular version of the License, Recipient may choose to continue to use it
under the terms of that version. However, if a Recipient chooses to use the Licensed
Work under the terms of any subsequent version of the License published by the Initial
Contributor, then from the date of making this choice, the Recipient must comply with
the terms of that subsequent version with respect to all further reproduction, preparation
of derivative works, public display of, public performance of, distribution and
sublicensing by the Recipient in connection with the Licensed Work. No one other than
the Initial Contributor has the right to modify the terms applicable to the Licensed Work
6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
6.1. GENERAL DISCLAIMER.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LICENSE, THE LICENSED WORK
IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT ANY
REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, GUARANTEE, ASSURANCE OR CONDITION
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-
INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF
THE LICENSED WORK IS WITH RECIPIENT. SHOULD ANY LICENSED WORK
PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, RECIPIENT (NOT THE INITIAL
CONTRIBUTOR OR ANY SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUMES THE COST
OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS CLAUSE
CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY
LICENSED WORK IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS
LICENSE INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THIS DISCLAIMER.
6.2. RESPONSIBILITY OF RECIPIENTS.
Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and
distributing the Licensed Work and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights
under this License, 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.
7. TERMINATION.
7.1. This License shall continue until terminated in accordance with the express terms
herein.
7.2. Recipient may choose to terminate this License automatically at any time.
7.3. This License, including without limitation the rights granted hereunder to a
particular Recipient, will terminate automatically if such Recipient is in material breach
of any of the terms of this License and fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days of
becoming aware of the breach. Without limiting the foregoing, any material breach by
such Recipient of any term of any other License under which such Recipient is granted
any rights to the Licensed Work shall constitute a material breach of this License.
7.4. Upon termination of this License by or with respect to a particular Recipient for any
reason, all rights granted hereunder and under any other License to that Recipient shall
terminate. However, all sublicenses to the Licensed Work which were previously
properly granted by such Recipient under a copy of this License (in each case, an "Other
License" and in plural, "Other Licenses") shall survive any such termination of this
License, including without limitation the rights and obligations under such Other
Licenses as set out in their respective Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, mutatis mutandis, for
so long as the respective sublicensees (i.e. other Recipients) remain in compliance with
the terms of the copy of this License under which such sublicensees received rights to the
Licensed Work. Any termination of such Other Licenses shall be pursuant to their
respective Section 7, mutatis mutandis. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in
effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
7.5. Upon any termination of this License by or with respect to a particular Recipient,
Sections 4.1, 4.2, 6.1, 6.2, 7.4, 7.5, 8.1, and 8.2, together with all provisions of this
License necessary for the interpretation and enforcement of same, shall expressly survive
such termination.
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
8.1. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY OF INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR, ITS
SUBSIDIARIES, OR AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE
OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND/OR AGENTS (AS THE CASE MAY
BE), HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES, INDIRECT
DAMAGES, PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SPECIAL
DAMAGES, EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY
OTHER DAMAGES WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS
OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, OR ANY OTHER LOSS ARISING OUT OF OR IN
ANY WAY RELATED TO THE USE, INABILITY TO USE, UNAUTHORIZED USE,
PERFORMANCE, OR NON-PERFORMANCE OF THE LICENSED WORK OR ANY
PART THEREOF OR THE PROVISION OF OR FAILURE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT
SERVICES, OR THAT RESULT FROM ERRORS, DEFECTS, OMISSIONS, DELAYS
IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, OR ANY OTHER FAILURE OF
PERFORMANCE), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY,
WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) IN RELATION TO OR ARISING IN ANY WAY
OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE LICENSED
WORK OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL
INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT
APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. THIS CLAUSE
CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY
LICENSED WORK IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS
LICENSE INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH
IN THIS SECTION 8.1.
8.2. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LICENSE, EACH RECIPIENT
SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY 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 LICENSED WORK OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS
GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO
LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH
PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH
LIMITATION.
9. GOVERNING LAW AND LEGAL ACTION.
9.1. This License shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
Governing Jurisdiction assigned in Part 3 of Exhibit A, without regard to its conflict of
law provisions. No party may bring a legal action under this License more than one year
after the cause of the action arose. Each party waives its rights (if any) to a jury trial in
any litigation arising under this License. Note that if the Governing Jurisdiction is not
assigned in Part 3 of Exhibit A, then the Governing Jurisdiction shall be the State of New
York.
9.2. The courts of the Governing Jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction, but not exclusive
jurisdiction, to entertain and determine all disputes and claims, whether for specific
performance, injunction, damages or otherwise, both at law and in equity, arising out of
or in any way relating to this License, including without limitation, the legality, validity,
existence and enforceability of this License. Each party to this License hereby
irrevocably attorns to and accepts the jurisdiction of the courts of the Governing
Jurisdiction for such purposes.
9.3. Except as expressly set forth elsewhere herein, in the event of any action or
proceeding brought by any party against another under this License the prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses including the fees of its attorneys in
such action or proceeding in such amount as the court may adjudge reasonable.
10. MISCELLANEOUS.
10.1. The obligations imposed by this License are for the benefit of the Initial
Contributor and any Recipient, and each Recipient acknowledges and agrees that the
Initial Contributor and/or any other Recipient may enforce the terms and conditions of
this License against any Recipient.
10.2. This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter hereof,
and supersedes and cancels all previous oral and written communications,
representations, agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof.
10.3. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
10.4. The language in all parts of this License shall be in all cases construed simply
according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any of the parties hereto. Any
law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be construed
against the drafter shall not apply to this License.
10.5. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under the laws of the
Governing Jurisdiction, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder
of the terms of this License, 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.
10.6. The paragraph headings of this License are for reference and convenience only and
are not a part of this License, and they shall have no effect upon the construction or
interpretation of any part hereof.
10.7. Each of the terms "including", "include" and "includes", when used in this License,
is not limiting whether or not non-limiting language (such as "without limitation" or "but
not limited to" or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto.

//***EXHIBIT A ENDS HERE.***//
-- with the following supplement --
Supplemental Text file for Open Fingerprint Architecture library (LIBOFA) distributed
under Adaptive Public License 1.0
Per Section 3.10, LIMITED RECOGNITION OF INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR
(a) As a modest attribution to the Initial Contributor, in the hope that its promotional
value may help justify the time, money and effort invested in writing the Initial Work, the
Initial Contributor may include in Part 2 of the Supplement File a requirement that each
time an executable program resulting from the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, or a
program dependent thereon, is launched or run, a prominent display of the Initial
Contributor's attribution information must occur (the "ATTRIBUTION
INFORMATION"). The Attribution Information must be included at the beginning of
each Source Code file. For greater certainty, the Initial Contributor may specify in the
Supplement File that the above attribution requirement only applies to an executable
program resulting from the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, but not a program
dependent thereon. The intent is to provide for reasonably modest attribution, therefore
the Initial Contributor may not require Recipients to display, at any time, more than the
following Attribution Information: (a) a copyright notice including the name of the Initial
Contributor; (b) a word or one phrase (not exceeding 10 words); (c) one digital image or
graphic provided with the Initial Work; and (d) a URL (collectively, the
"ATTRIBUTION LIMITS").
The attribution requested by MusicIP for this source code is:
(c) a digital imageconnected_by_musicip.gif or connected_by_musicip.png included
with this source code, also available from
http://www.musicip.com/connected_by_musicip.gif or
http://www.musicip.com/connected_by_musicip.png
(d) a URL. The image should be hyperlinked to http://www.musicip.com/
MusicIP requests that the image be legibly presented against a contrasting (light)
background color such as white or light grey.
