intellectual property claims:
(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or
trademark) Licensable by Initial Developer to use, reproduce,
modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute the

3.0 DISTRIBUTION OBLIGATIONS
3.1 Application of License.
The Source Code version of Original Code may be distributed only
under the terms of this License or a future version of this
License released under Section 6.1, and You must include a copy of
this License with every copy of the Source Code You
distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Source
Code version that alters or restricts the applicable version of
this License or the recipients' rights hereunder. Your license for
shipment of the Contributor Version is conditioned upon Your full
compliance with this Section. The Modifications which You create
must comply with all requirements set out by the Standards body in
effect one hundred twenty (120) days before You ship the
Contributor Version. In the event that the Modifications do not
meet such requirements, You agree to publish either (i) any
deviation from the Standards protocol resulting from
implementation of Your Modifications and a reference
implementation of Your Modifications or (ii) Your Modifications in
Source Code form, and to make any such deviation and reference
implementation or Modifications available to all third parties
under the same terms as this license on a royalty free basis
within thirty (30) days of Your first customer shipment of Your
Modifications.
3.2 Required Notices.
You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the
Source Code. If it is not possible to put such notice in a
particular Source Code file due to its structure, then You must
include such notice in a location (such as a relevant directory)
where a user would be likely to look for such a notice. If You
created one or more Modification(s) You may add Your name as a
Contributor to the notice described in Exhibit A. You must also
duplicate this License in any documentation for the Source Code
where You describe recipients' rights or ownership rights relating
to Initial Code. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for,
warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or
more recipients of Your version of the Code. However, You may do
so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial
Developer. You must make it absolutely clear than any such
warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is offered by
You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer
for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer as a result of
warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
3.3 Distribution of Executable Versions.
You may distribute Original Code in Executable and Source form
only if the requirements of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 have been met for
that Original Code, and if You include a notice stating that the
Source Code version of the Original Code is available under the
terms of this License. The notice must be conspicuously included
in any notice in an Executable or Source versions, related
documentation or collateral in which You describe recipients'
rights relating to the Original Code. You may distribute the
Executable and Source versions of Your version of the Code or
ownership rights under a license of Your choice, which may contain
terms different from this License, provided that You are in
compliance with the terms of this License. If You distribute the
Executable and Source versions under a different license You must
make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from this
License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial
Developer. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer for
any liability incurred by the Initial Developer as a result of any
such terms You offer.
3.4 Larger Works.
You may create a Larger Work by combining Original Code with other
code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the
Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make
sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the
Original Code.
4.0 INABILITY TO COMPLY DUE TO STATUTE OR REGULATION
If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of
this License with respect to some or all of the Original Code due
to statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a)
comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent
possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code they
affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL file
described in Section 3.2 and must be included with all
distributions of the Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited
by statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently
detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to
understand it.
5.0 APPLICATION OF THIS LICENSE
This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has
attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related Modifications as
set out in Section 3.1.
6.0 VERSIONS OF THE LICENSE
6.1 New Versions.
Sun may publish revised and/or new versions of the License from time
to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
6.2 Effect of New Versions.
Once Original Code has been published under a particular version
of the License, You may always continue to use it under the terms
of that version. You may also choose to use such Original Code
under the terms of any subsequent version of the License published
by Sun. No one other than Sun has the right to modify the terms
applicable to Original Code.
7.0 DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY
ORIGINAL CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS,
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE ORIGINAL CODE
IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
OF THE ORIGINAL CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY ORIGINAL CODE PROVE
DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER) ASSUME
THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS
LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY ORIGINAL CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER
EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
8.0 TERMINATION
8.1 This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to
cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the
breach. All sublicenses to the Original Code which are properly
granted shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions
which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the
termination of this License shall survive.
8.2 In the event of termination under Section 8.1 above, all end user
license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
have been validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder
prior to termination shall survive termination.
9.0 LIMIT OF LIABILITY
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE
INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF
ORIGINAL CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE
TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER
FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR
LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED 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. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS
EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
10.0 U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS
U.S. Government: If this Software is being acquired by or on
behalf of the U.S. Government or by a U.S. Government prime

conflict-of-law provisions. With respect to disputes in which at
least one party is a citizen of, or an entity chartered or
registered to do business in the United States of America, any
litigation relating to this License shall be subject to the
jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern District of
