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.

The ACE, TAO, CIAO, DAnCE, and CoSMIC web sites are maintained by the DOC
|
|
Group at the Institute for Software Integrated Systems (ISIS) and the 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 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.
