This license applies to any software containing a notice placed by the

Granted Rights

1. You are granted the non-exclusive rights set forth in this license
   provided you agree to and comply with any and all conditions in
   this license. Whole or partial distribution of the Software, or
   software items that link with the Software, in any form signifies
   acceptance of this license.

2. You may copy and distribute the Software in unmodified form
   provided that the entire package, including - but not restricted to
   - copyright, trademark notices and disclaimers, as released by the
   initial developer of the Software, is distributed.

3. You may make modifications to the Software and distribute your
   modifications, in a form that is separate from the Software, such
   as patches. The following restrictions apply to modifications:

    a. Modifications must not alter or remove any copyright notices in
       the Software.

    b. When modifications to the Software are released under this
       license, a non-exclusive royalty-free right is granted to the
       initial developer of the Software to distribute your
       modification in future versions of the Software provided such
       versions remain available under these terms in addition to any
       other license(s) of the initial developer.

4. You may distribute machine-executable forms of the Software or
   machine-executable forms of modified versions of the Software,
   provided that you meet these restrictions:

    a. You must include this license document in the distribution.

    b. You must ensure that all recipients of the machine-executable
       forms are also able to receive the complete machine-readable
       source code to the distributed Software, including all
       modifications, without any charge beyond the costs of data
       transfer, and place prominent notices in the distribution
       explaining this.

    c. You must ensure that all modifications included in the
       machine-executable forms are available under the terms of this
       license.

5. You may use the original or modified versions of the Software to
   compile, link and run application programs legally developed by you
   or by others.

6. You may develop application programs, reusable components and other
   software items that link with the original or modified versions of
   the Software. These items, when distributed, are subject to the
   following requirements:

    a. You must ensure that all recipients of machine-executable forms
       of these items are also able to receive and use the complete
       machine-readable source code to the items without any charge
       beyond the costs of data transfer.

    b. You must explicitly license all recipients of your items to use
       and re-distribute original and modified versions of the items
       in both machine-executable and source code forms. The
       recipients must be able to do so without any charges
       whatsoever, and they must be able to re-distribute to anyone
       they choose.

    c. If the items are not available to the general public, and the
       initial developer of the Software requests a copy of the items,
       then you must supply one.
