Schmidt and his [6]research group at [7]Washington 10 University, [8]University of California, Irvine, and [9]Vanderbilt 11 University, Copyright (c) 1993-2018, all rights reserved. Since DOC 12 software is open-source, freely available software, you are free to 13 use, modify, copy, and distribute--perpetually and irrevocably--the 14 DOC software source code and object code produced from the source, as 15 well as copy and distribute modified versions of this software. You 16 must, however, include this copyright statement along with any code 17 built using DOC software that you release. No copyright statement 18 needs to be provided if you just ship binary executables of your 19 software products. 20 21 You can use DOC software in commercial and/or binary software releases 22 and are under no obligation to redistribute any of your source code 23 that is built using DOC software. Note, however, that you may not 24 misappropriate the DOC software code, such as copyrighting it yourself 25 or claiming authorship of the DOC software code, in a way that will 26 prevent DOC software from being distributed freely using an 27 open-source development model. You needn't inform anyone that you're 28 using DOC software in your software, though we encourage you to let 29 [10]us know so we can promote your project in the [11]DOC software 30 success stories. 31 32 The [12]ACE, [13]TAO, [14]CIAO, [15]DAnCE, and [16]CoSMIC web sites 33 are maintained by the [17]DOC Group at the [18]Institute for Software 34 Integrated Systems (ISIS) and the [19]Center for Distributed Object 35 Computing of Washington University, St. Louis for the development of 36 open-source software as part of the open-source software community. 37 Submissions are provided by the submitter ``as is'' with no warranties 38 whatsoever, including any warranty of merchantability, noninfringement 39 of third party intellectual property, or fitness for any particular 40 purpose. In no event shall the submitter be liable for any direct, 41 indirect, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, 42 including without limitation, lost profits, even if advised of the 43 possibility of such damages. Likewise, DOC software is provided as is 44 with no warranties of any kind, including the warranties of design, 45 merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose, 46 noninfringement, or arising from a course of dealing, usage or trade 47 practice. Washington University, UC Irvine, Vanderbilt University, 48 their employees, and students shall have no liability with respect to 49 the infringement of copyrights, trade secrets or any patents by DOC 50 software or any part thereof. Moreover, in no event will Washington 51 University, UC Irvine, or Vanderbilt University, their employees, or 52 students be liable for any lost revenue or profits or other special, 53 indirect and consequential damages. 54 55 DOC software is provided with no support and without any obligation on 56 the part of Washington University, UC Irvine, Vanderbilt University, 57 their employees, or students to assist in its use, correction, 58 modification, or enhancement. A [20]number of companies around the 59 world provide commercial support for DOC software, however. DOC 60 software is Y2K-compliant, as long as the underlying OS platform is 61 Y2K-compliant. Likewise, DOC software is compliant with the new US 62 daylight savings rule passed by Congress as "The Energy Policy Act of 63 2005," which established new daylight savings times (DST) rules for 64 the United States that expand DST as of March 2007. Since DOC software 65 obtains time/date and calendaring information from operating systems 66 users will not be affected by the new DST rules as long as they 67 upgrade their operating systems accordingly. 68 69 The names ACE(TM), TAO(TM), CIAO(TM), DAnCE(TM), CoSMIC(TM), 70 Washington University, UC Irvine, and Vanderbilt University, may not 71 be used to endorse or promote products or services derived from this 72 source without express written permission from Washington University, 73 UC Irvine, or Vanderbilt University.
