IBM Public License - Linux on IBM Network Station -  Version 1.0 

  THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS IBM
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 International Business Machines Corporation
	   ("IBM"), the Original Program, and

        b) in the case of each 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 IBM and any other 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.

  "Original Program" means the original version of the software
  accompanying this Agreement as released by IBM, including source
  code, object code and documentation, if any.

  "Program" means the Original Program and Contributions. 

  "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.

  Each Contributor must include the following in a conspicuous
  location in the Program:

        Copyright  {date here}, International Business Machines
        Corporation and others. All Rights Reserved.

  In addition, 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.

  IBM may publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement
  from time to time. 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. No one other than IBM has the right to modify this
  Agreement. 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.
