Copyright and Licensing Information for ACE(TM), TAO(TM), CIAO(TM),
DAnCE(TM), and CoSMIC(TM)
[1]ACE(TM), [2]TAO(TM), [3]CIAO(TM), DAnCE(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) 1993-2011, 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
misappropriate the DOC software code, such as copyrighting it yourself
or claiming authorship of the DOC software code, in a way 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, [15]DAnCE, and [16]CoSMIC web sites
are maintained by the [17]DOC Group at the [18]Institute for Software
Integrated Systems (ISIS) and the [19]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 [20]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.
The names ACE(TM), TAO(TM), CIAO(TM), DAnCE(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. This license grants no permission
to call products or services derived from this source ACE(TM),
TAO(TM), CIAO(TM), DAnCE(TM), or CoSMIC(TM), nor does it grant
permission for the name Washington University, UC Irvine, or
Vanderbilt University to appear in their names.
If you have any suggestions, additions, comments, or questions, please
let [21]me know.
