+           royalty-free, non-exclusive license, subject to third
+           party intellectual property claims:
+                (a) under intellectual property rights (other than
+                patent or trademark) Licensable by Initial Developer
+                to use, reproduce, modify, display, perform,
+                sublicense and distribute the Original Code (or
+                portions thereof) with or without Modifications,
+                and/or as part of a Larger Work; and
+
+                (b) under Patents Claims infringed by the making,

+
+                (c) the licenses granted in this Section 2.1(a) and
+                (b) are effective on the date Initial Developer first
+                distributes Original Code under the terms of this
+                License.
+
+                (d) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent
+                license is granted: 1) for code that You delete from
+                the Original Code; 2) separate from the Original
+                Code;  or 3) for infringements caused by: i) the
+                modification of the Original Code or ii) the
+                combination of the Original Code with other software
+                or devices.
+
+           2.2. Contributor Grant.
+           Subject to third party intellectual property claims, each
+           Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
+           non-exclusive license
+
+                (a) under intellectual property rights (other than
+                patent or trademark) Licensable by Contributor, to
+                use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense
+                and distribute the Modifications created by such
+                Contributor (or portions thereof) either on an
+                unmodified basis, with other Modifications, as
+                Covered Code and/or as part of a Larger Work; and
+
+                (b) under Patent Claims infringed by the making,
+                using, or selling of  Modifications made by that
+                Contributor either alone and/or in combination with
+                its Contributor Version (or portions of such
+                combination), to make, use, sell, offer for sale,
+                have made, and/or otherwise dispose of: 1)
+                Modifications made by that Contributor (or portions
+                thereof); and 2) the combination of  Modifications
+                made by that Contributor with its Contributor Version
+                (or portions of such combination).
+
+                (c) the licenses granted in Sections 2.2(a) and
+                2.2(b) are effective on the date Contributor first
+                makes Commercial Use of the Covered Code.
+
+                (d)    Notwithstanding Section 2.2(b) above, no
+                patent license is granted: 1) for any code that
+                Contributor has deleted from the Contributor Version;
+                2)  separate from the Contributor Version;  3)  for
+                infringements caused by: i) third party modifications
+                of Contributor Version or ii)  the combination of
+                Modifications made by that Contributor with other
+                software  (except as part of the Contributor Version)
+                or other devices; or 4) under Patent Claims infringed
+                by Covered Code in the absence of Modifications made
+                by that Contributor.
+
+      3. Distribution Obligations.
+
+           3.1. Application of License.
+           The Modifications which You create or to which You
+           contribute are governed by the terms of this License,
+           including without limitation Section 2.2. The Source Code
+           version of Covered Code may be distributed only under the
+           terms of this License or a future version of this License
+           released. You must include a copy of this License with
+           every copy of the Source Code You distribute. You may not
+           offer or impose any terms on any Source Code version that
+           alters or restricts the applicable version of this License
+           or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may
+           include an additional document offering the additional
+           rights described in Section 3.5.
+
+           3.2. Availability of Source Code.
+           Any Modification which You create or to which You
+           contribute must be made available in Source Code form
+           under the terms of this License either on the same media
+           as an Executable version or via an accepted Electronic
+           Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an
+           Executable version available; and if made available via
+           Electronic Distribution Mechanism, must remain available
+           for at least twelve (12) months after the date it
+           initially became available, or at least six (6) months
+           after a subsequent version of that particular Modification
+           has been made available to such recipients. You are
+           responsible for ensuring that the Source Code version
+           remains available even if the Electronic Distribution
+           Mechanism is maintained by a third party.
+
+           3.3. Description of Modifications.
+           You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to
+           contain a file documenting the changes You made to create
+           that Covered Code and the date of any change. You must
+           include a prominent statement that the Modification is
+           derived, directly or indirectly, from Original Code
+           provided by the Initial Developer and including the name
+           of the Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b)
+           in any notice in an Executable version or related
+           documentation in which You describe the origin or
+           ownership of the Covered Code.
+
+           3.4. Intellectual Property Matters
+                (a) Third Party Claims.
+                If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a
+                third party's intellectual property rights is
+                required to exercise the rights granted by such
+                Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor
+                must include a text file with the Source Code
+                distribution titled "LEGAL'' which describes the
+                claim and the party making the claim in sufficient
+                detail that a recipient will know whom to contact. If
+                Contributor obtains such knowledge after the
+                Modification is made available as described in
+                Section 3.2, Contributor shall promptly modify the
+                LEGAL file in all copies Contributor makes available
+                thereafter and shall take other steps (such as
+                notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups)
+                reasonably calculated to inform those who received
+                the Covered Code that new knowledge has been
+                obtained.
+
+                (b) Contributor APIs.
+                If Contributor's Modifications include an application
+                programming interface and Contributor has knowledge
+                of patent licenses which are reasonably necessary to
+                implement that API, Contributor must also include
+                this information in the LEGAL file.
+
+                   (c)    Representations.
+                Contributor represents that, except as disclosed
+                pursuant to Section 3.4(a) above, Contributor
+                believes that Contributor's Modifications are
+                Contributor's original creation(s) and/or Contributor
+                has sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by
+                this License.
+
+           3.5. Required Notices.
+           You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of
+           the Source Code.  If it is not possible to put such notice
+           in a particular Source Code file due to its structure,
+           then You must include such notice in a location (such as a
+           relevant directory) where a user would be likely to look
+           for such a notice.  If You created one or more
+           Modification(s) You may add your name as a Contributor to
+           the notice described in Exhibit A.  You must also
+           duplicate this License in any documentation for the Source
+           Code where You describe recipients' rights or ownership
+           rights relating to Covered Code.  You may choose to offer,
+           and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or
+           liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
+           Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and
+           not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor.
+           You must make it absolutely clear than any such warranty,
+           support, indemnity or liability obligation is offered by
+           You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial
+           Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred
+           by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result
+           of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You
+           offer.
+
+           3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.
+           You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if
+           the requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for that
+           Covered Code, and if You include a notice stating that the
+           Source Code version of the Covered Code is available under
+           the terms of this License, including a description of how
+           and where You have fulfilled the obligations of Section
+           3.2. The notice must be conspicuously included in any
+           notice in an Executable version, related documentation or
+           collateral in which You describe recipients' rights
+           relating to the Covered Code. You may distribute the
+           Executable version of Covered Code or ownership rights
+           under a license of Your choice, which may contain terms
+           different from this License, provided that You are in
+           compliance with the terms of this License and that the
+           license for the Executable version does not attempt to
+           limit or alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code
+           version from the rights set forth in this License. If You
+           distribute the Executable version under a different
+           license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms
+           which differ from this License are offered by You alone,
+           not by the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You
+           hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every
+           Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial
+           Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such
+           terms You offer.
+
+           3.7. Larger Works.
+           You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code
+           with other code not governed by the terms of this License
+           and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In
+           such a case, You must make sure the requirements of this
+           License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.
+
+      4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
+
+           If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the
+           terms of this License with respect to some or all of the
+           Covered Code due to statute, judicial order, or regulation
+           then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License
+           to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the
+           limitations and the code they affect. Such description
+           must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section
+           3.4 and must be included with all distributions of the
+           Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or
+           regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed
+           for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand
+           it.
+
+      5. Application of this License.
+
+           This License applies to code to which the Initial
+           Developer has attached the notice in Exhibit A and to
+           related Covered Code.
+
+      6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
+
+           COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS''
+           BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR
+           IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT
+           THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR
+           A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+           TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED CODE IS WITH
+           YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY
+           RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER
+           CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING,
+           REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY
+           CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF
+           ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS
+           DISCLAIMER.
+
+      7. TERMINATION.
+
+           7.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will
+           terminate automatically if You fail to comply with terms
+           herein and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of
+           becoming aware of the breach. All sublicenses to the
+           Covered Code which are properly granted shall survive any
+           termination of this License. Provisions which, by their
+           nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of
+           this License shall survive.
+
+           7.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent
+           infringement claim (excluding declatory judgment actions)
+           against Initial Developer or a Contributor (the Initial
+           Developer or Contributor against whom You file such action
+           is referred to as "Participant")  alleging that:
+
+           (a) such Participant's Contributor Version directly or
+           indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all rights
+           granted by such Participant to You under Sections 2.1
+           and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days notice from
+           Participant terminate prospectively, unless if within 60
+           days after receipt of notice You either: (i)  agree in
+           writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable
+           royalty for Your past and future use of Modifications made
+           by such Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation
+           claim with respect to the Contributor Version against such
+           Participant.  If within 60 days of notice, a reasonable
+           royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually agreed
+           upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim is
+           not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You
+           under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at
+           the expiration of the 60 day notice period specified
+           above.
+
+           (b)  any software, hardware, or device, other than such
+           Participant's Contributor Version, directly or indirectly
+           infringes any patent, then any rights granted to You by

+
+      9. MISCELLANEOUS.
+
+           This License represents the complete agreement concerning
+           subject matter hereof. 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. This
+           License shall be governed and be construed by laws of the
+           Province of Quebec and the laws of Canada applicable
+           therein (except to the extent applicable law, if any,
+           provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law
+           provisions. With respect to disputes in which at least one
+           party is a citizen of, or an entity chartered or
+           registered to do business in Canada, any litigation
+           relating to this License shall be subject to the
+           jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the province of
+           Quebec, with venue lying in Quebec city, Quebec, with the
+           losing party responsible for costs, including without
+           limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and
+           expenses. The application of the United Nations Convention
+           on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is
+           expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which provides
+           that the language of a contract shall be construed against
+           the drafter shall not apply to this License. If any part
+           of this Agreement is found void and unenforceable, it will
+           not affect the validity of the balance of the Agreement,
+           which shall remain valid and enforceable according to its
+           terms.
+
+      10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
+
+           As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each
+           party is responsible for claims and damages arising,
+           directly or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights
+           under this License and You agree to work with Initial
+           Developer and Contributors to distribute such
+           responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is
+           intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of
+           liability.
+
+      11. MULTIPLE-LICENSED CODE.
