|

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

DOC software is provided with no support and without any obligation on the

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.
