Licensed under the Academic Free License version 3.0

 1) Grant of Copyright License. Licensor grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, 
    non-exclusive, sublicensable license, for the duration of the copyright, to 
    do the following:

    a) to reproduce the Original Work in copies, either alone or as part of a 
       collective work;

    b) to translate, adapt, alter, transform, modify, or arrange the Original 
       Work, thereby creating derivative works ("Derivative Works") based upon 
       the Original Work;

    c) to distribute or communicate copies of the Original Work and Derivative 
       Works to the public, under any license of your choice that does not 
       contradict the terms and conditions, including Licensor's reserved 
       rights and remedies, in this Academic Free License;

    d) to perform the Original Work publicly; and

    e) to display the Original Work publicly.

 2) Grant of Patent License. Licensor grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, 
    non-exclusive, sublicensable license, under patent claims owned or 
    controlled by the Licensor that are embodied in the Original Work as 
    furnished by the Licensor, for the duration of the patents, to make, use, 
    sell, offer for sale, have made, and import the Original Work and 
    Derivative Works.

 3) Grant of Source Code License. The term "Source Code" means the preferred 
    form of the Original Work for making modifications to it and all available 
    documentation describing how to modify the Original Work. Licensor agrees 
    to provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Original Work 
    along with each copy of the Original Work that Licensor distributes. 
    Licensor reserves the right to satisfy this obligation by placing a 
    machine-readable copy of the Source Code in an information repository 
    reasonably calculated to permit inexpensive and convenient access by You 
    for as long as Licensor continues to distribute the Original Work.

 4) Exclusions From License Grant. Neither the names of Licensor, nor the 
    names of any contributors to the Original Work, nor any of their 
    trademarks or service marks, may be used to endorse or promote products 
    derived from this Original Work without express prior permission of the 
    Licensor. Except as expressly stated herein, nothing in this License 
    grants any license to Licensor's trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade 
    secrets or any other intellectual property. No patent license is granted 
    to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, or import embodiments of 
    any patent claims other than the licensed claims defined in Section 2. 
    No license is granted to the trademarks of Licensor even if such marks 
    are included in the Original Work. Nothing in this License shall be 
    interpreted to prohibit Licensor from licensing under terms different 
    from this License any Original Work that Licensor otherwise would have a 
    right to license.

 5) External Deployment. The term "External Deployment" means the use, 
    distribution, or communication of the Original Work or Derivative Works 
    in any way such that the Original Work or Derivative Works may be used by 
    anyone other than You, whether those works are distributed or 
    communicated to those persons or made available as an application 
    intended for use over a network. As an express condition for the grants 
    of license hereunder, You must treat any External Deployment by You of 
    the Original Work or a Derivative Work as a distribution under 
    section 1(c).

 6) Attribution Rights. You must retain, in the Source Code of any Derivative 
    Works that You create, all copyright, patent, or trademark notices from 
    the Source Code of the Original Work, as well as any notices of licensing 
    and any descriptive text identified therein as an "Attribution Notice." 
    You must cause the Source Code for any Derivative Works that You create 
    to carry a prominent Attribution Notice reasonably calculated to inform 
    recipients that You have modified the Original Work.

 7) Warranty of Provenance and Disclaimer of Warranty. Licensor warrants that 
    the copyright in and to the Original Work and the patent rights granted 
    herein by Licensor are owned by the Licensor or are sublicensed to You 
    under the terms of this License with the permission of the contributor(s) 
    of those copyrights and patent rights. Except as expressly stated in the 
    immediately preceding sentence, the Original Work is provided under this 
    License on an "AS IS" BASIS and WITHOUT WARRANTY, either express or 
    implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of 
    non-infringement, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. 
    THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL WORK IS WITH YOU. This 
    DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY constitutes an essential part of this License. 
    No license to the Original Work is granted by this License except under 
    this disclaimer.

 8) Limitation of Liability. Under no circumstances and under no legal 
    theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, 
    shall the Licensor be liable to anyone for any indirect, special, 
    incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a result 
    of this License or the use of the Original Work including, without 
    limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure 
    or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses. This 
    limitation of liability shall not apply to the extent applicable law 
    prohibits such limitation.

 9) Acceptance and Termination. If, at any time, You expressly assented to 
    this License, that assent indicates your clear and irrevocable acceptance 
    of this License and all of its terms and conditions. If You distribute or 
    communicate copies of the Original Work or a Derivative Work, You must 
    make a reasonable effort under the circumstances to obtain the express 
    assent of recipients to the terms of this License. This License 
    conditions your rights to undertake the activities listed in Section 1, 
    including your right to create Derivative Works based upon the Original 
    Work, and doing so without honoring these terms and conditions is 
    prohibited by copyright law and international treaty. Nothing in this 
    License is intended to affect copyright exceptions and limitations 
    (including "fair use" or "fair dealing"). This License shall terminate 
    immediately and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to 
    You by this License upon your failure to honor the conditions in 
    Section 1(c).

10) Termination for Patent Action. This License shall terminate 
    automatically and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted 
    to You by this License as of the date You commence an action, including 
    a cross-claim or counterclaim, against Licensor or any licensee alleging 
    that the Original Work infringes a patent. This termination provision 
    shall not apply for an action alleging patent infringement by 
    combinations of the Original Work with other software or hardware.

11) Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. Any action or suit relating to 
    this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction wherein 
    the Licensor resides or in which Licensor conducts its primary business, 
    and under the laws of that jurisdiction excluding its conflict-of-law 
    provisions. The application of the United Nations Convention on 
    Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any 
    use of the Original Work outside the scope of this License or after its 
    termination shall be subject to the requirements and penalties of 
    copyright or patent law in the appropriate jurisdiction. This section 
    shall survive the termination of this License.

12) Attorneys' Fees. In any action to enforce the terms of this License or 
    seeking damages relating thereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled 
    to recover its costs and expenses, including, without limitation, 
    reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with such 
    action, including any appeal of such action. This section shall survive 
    the termination of this License.

13) Miscellaneous. If any provision of this License is held to be 
    unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent 
    necessary to make it enforceable.

14) Definition of "You" in This License. "You" throughout this License, 
    whether in upper or lower case, means an individual or a legal entity 
    exercising rights under, and complying with all of the terms of, this 
    License. For legal entities, "You" includes any entity that controls, is 
    controlled by, or is under common control with you. For purposes of this 
    definition, "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause 
    the direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or 
    otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the 
    outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.

15) Right to Use. You may use the Original Work in all ways not otherwise 
    restricted or conditioned by this License or by law, and Licensor 
    promises not to interfere with or be responsible for such uses by You.

16) Modification of This License. This License is Copyright © 2005 Lawrence 
    Rosen. Permission is granted to copy, distribute, or communicate this 
    License without modification. Nothing in this License permits You to 
    modify this License as applied to the Original Work or to Derivative 
    Works. However, You may modify the text of this License and copy, 
    distribute or communicate your modified version (the "Modified 
    License") and apply it to other original works of authorship subject to 
    the following conditions: (i) You may not indicate in any way that your 
    Modified License is the "Academic Free License" or "AFL" and you may not 
    use those names in the name of your Modified License; (ii) You must 
    replace the notice specified in the first paragraph above with the 
    notice "Licensed under <insert your license name here>" or with a notice 
    of your own that is not confusingly similar to the notice in this 
    License; and (iii) You may not claim that your original works are open 
    source software unless your Modified License has been approved by Open 
    Source Initiative (OSI) and You comply with its license review and 
    certification process.
