WHEREAS:

1.  The International Organization for Standardization ("ISO") technical
committee ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29/WG1 has developed a still-image compression
standard known as ISO/IEC 15444 (referred to in this Public License as
the "JPEG-2000 Standard") which sets out in ISO/IEC 15444-1 (hereafter
"JPEG-2000 Part 1") the specifications of the core coding system, and sets
out in ISO/IEC 15444-5 (hereafter "JPEG-2000 Part 5") certain reference
software that implements the required elements of JPEG-2000 Part 1;

2.  The ISO may include the JPEG-2000 software accompanying this
license (the "JasPer Software") within JPEG-2000 Part 5 as a reference
implementation of JPEG-2000 Part 1;

3.  Provided that certain contingencies occur, to wit (i) ISO/IEC
JTC1/SC29/WG1 formally adopts JPEG-2000 Part 5 as an international
standard and (ii) the JasPer Software is included for publication within
JPEG-2000 Part 5 (collectively referred to as the "Part 5 Contingencies"),
Image Power Inc. and the other JasPer contributors shall release the
JasPer Software source code to the general public under an unrestricted
commercial license (License Grant B herein).

4.  Prior to the occurrence of the Part 5 Contingencies, Image Power and
the other JasPer contributors shall release the JasPer Software source
code to the general public under a non-commercial research license
only (License Grant A herein), which license shall be converted to
an unrestricted commercial license (License Grant B herein) after the
occurrence of the Part 5 Contingencies.  Should the Part 5 Contingencies
never occur, License Grant A shall remain in full effect in perpetuity.

NOW THEREFORE, THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS SHALL APPLY:

PROVIDED THAT the Part 5 Contingencies occur then the following License
Grant B shall apply; however, in the event that either of the Part 5
Contingencies do not occur, then only the following License Grant A
shall apply:
