-Eclipse Public License - v 1.0
-
-THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE
-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.
+Copyright (C) 2011 by Steve Losh and contributors.
 
-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.
+Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this
+software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software
+without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify,
+merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to
+permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following
+conditions:
 
-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 tocontrol, 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
+The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies
+or substantial portions of the Software.
 
-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 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.
+THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
+INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR
+A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF
+CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE
+OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.
 
-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. The Eclipse Foundation
-is the initial Agreement Steward. The Eclipse Foundation 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 Washington 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.
