Ferris is the grantor of rights, (i) claims of patents that are now or

terms and conditions of this License, Mike Ferris hereby grants You,
effective on the date You accept this License and download the Original
Code, a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license, to the extent
of Mike Ferris' Applicable Patent Rights and copyrights covering the
Original Code, to do the following:
2.1 You may use, reproduce, display, perform, modify and distribute
Original Code, with or without Modifications, solely for Your internal
research and development and/or Personal Use, provided that in each

2.3 You expressly acknowledge and agree that although Mike Ferris
and each Contributor grants the licenses to their respective portions of

Ferris or any Contributor that the Covered Code does not infringe the
patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Mike
Ferris and each Contributor disclaim any liability to You 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, You hereby assume sole responsibility to
secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For
example, if a third party patent license is required to allow You to
distribute the Covered Code, it is Your responsibility to acquire that
license before distributing the Covered Code.
3. Your Grants. In consideration of, and as a condition to, the licenses granted to You under this License:
(a) You hereby grant to Mike Ferris and all third parties a
non-exclusive, royalty-free license, under Your Applicable Patent Rights

Modifications, in any form, through multiple tiers of distribution.
4. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered
Code with other code not governed by the terms of this License and
distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In each such instance,
You must make sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled for
the Covered Code or any portion thereof.
5. Limitations on Patent License. Except as expressly stated in
Section 2, no other patent rights, express or implied, are granted by
Mike Ferris herein. Modifications and/or Larger Works may require
additional patent licenses from Mike Ferris which Mike Ferris may grant
in his sole discretion.
6. Additional Terms. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee
for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations and/or other
rights consistent with the scope of the license granted herein
("Additional Terms") to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However,
You may do so only on Your own behalf and as Your sole responsibility,
and not on behalf of Mike Ferris or any Contributor. You must obtain the
recipient's agreement that any such Additional Terms are offered by You
alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Mike Ferris
and every Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by or claims
asserted against Mike Ferris or such Contributor by reason of any such
Additional Terms.
7. Versions of the License. Mike Ferris may publish revised and/or
new versions of this License from time to time. Each version will be
given a distinguishing version number. Once Original Code has been
published under a particular version of this License, You may 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 this
License published by Mike Ferris. No one other than Mike Ferris has the
right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this
License.
8. NO WARRANTY OR SUPPORT. The Covered Code may contain in whole or
in part pre-release, untested, or not fully tested works. The Covered
Code may contain errors that could cause failures or loss of data, and
may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. You expressly acknowledge and
agree that use of the Covered Code, or any portion thereof, is at Your
sole and entire risk. THE COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT
WARRANTY, UPGRADES OR SUPPORT OF ANY KIND AND MIKE FERRIS AND MIKE
FERRIS' LICENSOR(S) (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS MIKE FERRIS FOR THE
PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 8 AND 9) AND ALL CONTRIBUTORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM
ALL WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS. MIKE FERRIS AND EACH CONTRIBUTOR DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST
INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE COVERED CODE, THAT THE FUNCTIONS
CONTAINED IN THE COVERED CODE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE
OPERATION OF THE COVERED CODE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR
THAT DEFECTS IN THE COVERED CODE WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN
INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY MIKE FERRIS OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR SHALL
CREATE A WARRANTY. You acknowledge that the Covered Code is not intended
for use in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation,
communication systems, or air traffic control machines in which case the
failure of the Covered Code could lead to death, personal injury, or
severe physical or environmental damage.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN
NO EVENT SHALL MIKE FERRIS OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS LICENSE OR YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE COVERED
CODE, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT,
WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCTS LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE,
EVEN IF MIKE FERRIS OR SUCH CONTRIBUTOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL
PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION
OF LIABILITY OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall Mike Ferris' total liability to
You for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law)
under this License exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00).
10. Trademarks. This License does not grant any rights to use any
trademarks or trade names belonging to Mike Ferris or to any trademark
or trade name belonging to any Contributor. No such trademarks or trade
names may be used to endorse or promote products derived from the
Original Code other than by explicit written permission from Mike Ferris
or the Contributor who owns the trademark or trade name.
11. Ownership. Subject to the licenses granted under this License,
each Contributor retains all rights, title and interest in and to any
Modifications made by such Contributor. Mike Ferris retains all rights,
title and interest in and to the Original Code and any Modifications
made by or on behalf of Mike Ferris ("Mike Ferris Modifications"), and
such Mike Ferris Modifications will not be automatically subject to this
License. Mike Ferris may, at his sole discretion, choose to license
such Mike Ferris Modifications under this License, or on different terms
from those contained in this License or may choose not to license them
at all.
12. Termination.
12.1 Termination. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate:
(a) automatically without notice from Mike Ferris if You fail to
comply with any term(s) of this License and fail to cure such breach
within 30 days of becoming aware of such breach;
(b) immediately in the event of the circumstances described in Section 13.5(b); or
(c) automatically without notice from Mike Ferris if You, at any
time during the term of this License, commence an action for patent
infringement against Mike Ferris.
12.2 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, You agree to
immediately stop any further use, reproduction, modification,
sublicensing and distribution of the Covered Code and to destroy all
copies of the Covered Code that are in your possession or control. All
sublicenses to the Covered Code which have been properly granted prior
to termination shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions
which, by their nature, should remain in effect beyond the termination
of this License shall survive, including but not limited to Sections 3,
5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.2 and 13. No party will be liable to any other for
compensation, indemnity or damages of any sort solely as a result of
terminating this License in accordance with its terms, and termination
of this License will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy
of any party.
13. Miscellaneous.
13.1 Government End Users. The Covered Code is a "commercial item"
as defined in FAR 2.101. Government software and technical data rights
in the Covered Code include only those rights customarily provided to
the public as defined in this License. This customary commercial license
in technical data and software is provided in accordance with FAR
12.211 (Technical Data) and 12.212 (Computer Software) and, for
Department of Defense purchases, DFAR 252.227-7015 (Technical Data --
Commercial Items) and 227.7202-3 (Rights in Commercial Computer Software
or Computer Software Documentation). Accordingly, all U.S. Government
End Users acquire Covered Code with only those rights set forth herein.
13.2 Relationship of Parties. This License will not be construed as
creating an agency, partnership, joint venture or any other form of
legal association between or among You, Mike Ferris or any Contributor,
and You will not represent to the contrary, whether expressly, by
implication, appearance or otherwise.
13.3 Independent Development. Nothing in this License will impair
Mike Ferris' right to acquire, license, develop, have others develop for
it, market and/or distribute technology or products that perform the
same or similar functions as, or otherwise compete with, Modifications,
Larger Works, technology or products that You may develop, produce,
market or distribute.
13.4 Waiver; Construction. Failure by Mike Ferris or any Contributor
to enforce any provision of this License will not be deemed a waiver of
future enforcement of that or any other provision. Any law or
regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be
construed against the drafter will not apply to this License.
13.5 Severability. (a) If for any reason a court of competent
jurisdiction finds any provision of this License, or portion thereof, to
be unenforceable, that provision of the License will be enforced to the
maximum extent permissible so as to effect the economic benefits and
intent of the parties, and the remainder of this License will continue
in full force and effect. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
applicable law prohibits or restricts You from fully and/or specifically
complying with Sections 2 and/or 3 or prevents the enforceability of
either of those Sections, this License will immediately terminate and
You must immediately discontinue any use of the Covered Code and destroy
all copies of it that are in your possession or control.
13.6 Dispute Resolution. Any litigation or other dispute resolution
between You and Mike Ferris relating to this License shall take place in
the Northern District of California, and You and Mike Ferris hereby
consent to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and
federal courts within that District with respect to this License. The
application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
13.7 Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This License constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof. This License shall be governed by the laws of the United States
and the State of California, except that body of California law
concerning conflicts of law.
Where You are located in the province of Quebec, Canada, the
following clause applies: The parties hereby confirm that they have
requested that this License and all related documents be drafted in
English. Les parties ont exigé que le présent contrat et tous les
documents connexes soient rédigés en anglais.
