ACE(TM), TAO(TM), CIAO(TM), DAnCE>(TM), and CoSMIC(TM) (henceforth referred
|
|
to as "DOC software") are copyrighted by Douglas C. Schmidt and his research
|
|
group at Washington University, University of California, Irvine, and 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 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 us know so we can promote your project in the DOC software success
|
|
stories.

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,

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,

|
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 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.
