-------- The following is the legal text of the Common Public License ---------

                       Common Public License - v 1.0

   THE  ACCOMPANYING  PROGRAM  IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON
   PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF
   THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

   1. DEFINITIONS

   "Contribution" means:

   a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and
       documentation distributed under this Agreement, and

   b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:

      i) changes to the Program, and

      ii) additions to the Program;

   where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from
   and are distributed by that particular Contributor.  A Contribution
   'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by
   such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's
   behalf.  Contributions do not include additions to the Program
   which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in
   conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and
   (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.

   "Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the
   Program.

   "Licensed Patents" mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor
   which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its
   Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.

   "Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with
   this Agreement.

   "Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this
   Agreement, including all Contributors.


   2. GRANT OF RIGHTS

   a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby
       grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
       copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of,
       publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense
       the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such
       derivative works, in source code and object code form.

   b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby
       grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
       patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer
       to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such
       Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This
       patent license shall apply to the combination of the
       Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution
       is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution
       causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed
       Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other
       combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se
       is licensed hereunder.

   c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the
       licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances
       are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not
       infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of
       any other entity.  Each Contributor disclaims any liability to
       Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on
       infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise.  As
       a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted
       hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to
       secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any.
       For example, if a third party patent license is required to
       allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's
       responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the
       Program.

   d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has
       sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to
       grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.

   3. REQUIREMENTS

   A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code
   form under its own license agreement, provided that:

   a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

   b) its license agreement:

   i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all
       warranties and conditions, express and implied, including
       warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and
       implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness
       for a particular purpose;

   ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all
       liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special,
       incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;

   iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement
       are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other
       party; and

   iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such
       Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a
       reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for
       software exchange.

   When the Program is made available in source code form:

   a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and

   b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the
      Program.

   Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices
   contained within the Program.

   Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its
   Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent
   Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.

   4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION

   Commercial distributors of software may accept certain
   responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and
   the like.  While this license is intended to facilitate the
   commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the
   Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner
   which does not create potential liability for other
   Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a
   commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial
   Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other
   Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages
   and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and
   other legal actions brought by a third party against the
   Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or
   omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its
   distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The
   obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses
   relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property
   infringement.  In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor
   must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of
   such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and
   cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any
   related settlement negotiations.  The Indemnified Contributor may
   participate in any such claim at its own expense.

   For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a
   commercial product offering, Product X.  That Contributor is then a
   Commercial Contributor.  If that Commercial Contributor then makes
   performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X,
   those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial
   Contributor's responsibility alone.  Under this section, the
   Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the
   other Contributors related to those performance claims and
   warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay
   any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those
   damages.

   5. NO WARRANTY

   EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS
   PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
   ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
   ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
   MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  Each
   Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness
   of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks
   associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement,
   including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors,
   compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data,
   programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of
   operations.

   6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

   EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT
   NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT,
   INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
   (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON
   ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR
   TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF
   THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY
   RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
   SUCH DAMAGES.

   7. GENERAL

   If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable
   under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or
   enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and
   without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall
   be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision
   valid and enforceable.

   If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor
   with respect to a patent applicable to software (including a
   cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses
   granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement
   shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.  In
   addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any
   entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit)
   alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the
   Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's
   patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b)
   shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

   All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it
   fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of
   this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable
   period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all
   Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees
   to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably
   practicable.  However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement
   and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall
   continue and survive.

   Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this
   Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is
   copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The
   Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions
   (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one
   other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this
   Agreement. IBM is the initial Agreement Steward.  IBM may assign
   the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable
   separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a
   distinguishing version number. The Program (including
   Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of
   the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new
   version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to
   distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the new
   version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b)
   above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual
   property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether
   expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the
   Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.

   This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and
   the intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No
   party to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this
   Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each
   party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting
   litigation.
