Copyright and Licensing Information for ACE(TM), TAO(TM), CIAO(TM), and
CoSMIC(TM)
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) 1993-2006, 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. By submitting comments, suggestions, code, code
snippets, techniques (including that of usage) and algorithms
(collectively ``Submissions''), submitters acknowledge that they have
the right to do so, that any such Submissions are given freely and
unreservedly, and that they waive any claims to copyright or ownership.
In addition, submitters acknowledge that any such Submission might
become part of the copyright maintained on the overall body of code that
comprises the DOC software. By making a Submission, submitter agree to
these terms. Moreover, submitters acknowledge that the incorporation or
modification of such Submissions is entirely at the discretion of the
moderators of the open-source DOC software projects or their designees.
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.
