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.

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. + + The names ACE(TM), TAO(TM), CIAO(TM), CoSMIC(TM), Washington + University, UC Irvine, and Vanderbilt University, may not be used to + endorse or promote products or services derived from this source + without express written permission from Washington University, UC + Irvine, or Vanderbilt University.
