ACE(TM), TAO(TM), CIAO(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 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 us know so
|
|
we can promote your project in the DOC software success stories.

The ACE, TAO, CIAO, 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.
