+  Copyright and Licensing Information for ACE(TM), TAO(TM), CIAO(TM), and
+  CoSMIC(TM)
+
+   [1]ACE(TM), [2]TAO(TM), [3]CIAO(TM), and [4]CoSMIC(TM) (henceforth
+   referred to as "DOC software") are copyrighted by [5]Douglas C.
+   Schmidt and his [6]research group at [7]Washington University,
+   [8]University of California, Irvine, and [9]Vanderbilt University,
+   Copyright (c) 1993-2009, all rights reserved. Since DOC software is
+   open-source, freely available software, you are free to use, modify,
+   copy, and distribute--perpetually and irrevocably--the DOC software
+   source code and object code produced from the source, as well as copy
+   and distribute modified versions of this software. You must, however,
+   include this copyright statement along with any code built using DOC
+   software that you release. No copyright statement needs to be provided
+   if you just ship binary executables of your software products.
+
+   You can use DOC software in commercial and/or binary software releases
+   and are under no obligation to redistribute any of your source code
+   that is built using DOC software. Note, however, that you may not do
+   anything to the DOC software code, such as copyrighting it yourself or
+   claiming authorship of the DOC software code, that will prevent DOC
+   software from being distributed freely using an open-source
+   development model. You needn't inform anyone that you're using DOC
+   software in your software, though we encourage you to let [10]us know
+   so we can promote your project in the [11]DOC software success
+   stories.
+
+   The [12]ACE, [13]TAO, [14]CIAO, and [15]CoSMIC web sites are
+   maintained by the [16]DOC Group at the [17]Institute for Software
+   Integrated Systems (ISIS) and the [18]Center for Distributed Object
+   Computing of Washington University, St. Louis for the development of
+   open-source software as part of the open-source software community.
+   Submissions are provided by the submitter ``as is'' with no warranties
+   whatsoever, including any warranty of merchantability, noninfringement
+   of third party intellectual property, or fitness for any particular
+   purpose. In no event shall the submitter be liable for any direct,
+   indirect, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages,
+   including without limitation, lost profits, even if advised of the
+   possibility of such damages. Likewise, DOC software is provided as is
+   with no warranties of any kind, including the warranties of design,
+   merchantability, and fitness for a particular purpose,
+   noninfringement, or arising from a course of dealing, usage or trade
+   practice. Washington University, UC Irvine, Vanderbilt University,
+   their employees, and students shall have no liability with respect to
+   the infringement of copyrights, trade secrets or any patents by DOC
+   software or any part thereof. Moreover, in no event will Washington
+   University, UC Irvine, or Vanderbilt University, their employees, or
+   students be liable for any lost revenue or profits or other special,
+   indirect and consequential damages.
+
+   DOC software is provided with no support and without any obligation on
+   the part of Washington University, UC Irvine, Vanderbilt University,
+   their employees, or students to assist in its use, correction,
+   modification, or enhancement. A [19]number of companies around the
+   world provide commercial support for DOC software, however.
+
+   DOC software is Y2K-compliant, as long as the underlying OS platform
+   is Y2K-compliant. Likewise, DOC software is compliant with the new US
+   daylight savings rule passed by Congress as "The Energy Policy Act of
+   2005," which established new daylight savings times (DST) rules for
+   the United States that expand DST as of March 2007. Since DOC software
+   obtains time/date and calendaring information from operating systems
+   users will not be affected by the new DST rules as long as they
+   upgrade their operating systems accordingly.
+
