+Non-Profit Open Software License ("Non-Profit OSL") 3.0
+
+This Non-Profit Open Software License ("Non-Profit OSL") version 3.0
+(the "License") applies to any original work of authorship (the
+"Original Work") whose owner (the "Licensor") has placed
+the following licensing notice adjacent to the copyright notice for the
+Original Work:
+
+Licensed under the Non-Profit Open Software 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, with the proviso that copies of Original Work or
+Derivative Works that You distribute or communicate shall be licensed under
+this Non-Profit Open Software License or as provided in section 17(d);
+
+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. 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 direct, 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 "Open Software
+License" or "OSL" 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.
+
+17) Non-Profit Amendment. The name of this amended version of the Open Software
+License ("OSL 3.0") is "Non-Profit Open Software License
+3.0". The original OSL 3.0 license has been amended as follows:
+
+(a) Licensor represents and declares that it is a not-for-profit organization
+that derives no revenue whatsoever from the distribution of the Original Work
+or Derivative Works thereof, or from support or services relating thereto.
+
+(b) The first sentence of Section 7 ["Warranty of Provenance"] of OSL
+3.0 has been stricken. For Original Works licensed under this Non-Profit OSL
+3.0, LICENSOR OFFERS NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER.
+
+(c) In the first sentence of Section 8 ["Limitation of Liability"] of
+this Non-Profit OSL 3.0, the list of damages for which LIABILITY IS LIMITED now
+includes "direct" damages.
+
+(d) The proviso in Section 1(c) of this License now refers to this "Non-
+Profit Open Software License" rather than the "Open Software
+License". You may distribute or communicate the Original Work or
+Derivative Works thereof under this Non-Profit OSL 3.0 license only if You make
+the representation and declaration in paragraph (a) of this Section 17.
+Otherwise, You shall distribute or communicate the Original Work or Derivative
+Works thereof only under the OSL 3.0 license and You shall publish clear
+licensing notices so stating. Also by way of clarification, this License does
+not authorize You to distribute or communicate works under this Non-Profit OSL
+3.0 if You received them under the original OSL 3.0 license.
+
+(e) Original Works licensed under this license shall reference "Non-Profit
+OSL 3.0" in licensing notices to distinguish them from works licensed
+under the original OSL 3.0 license.
