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 such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available, modify, display, perform,
distribute, and otherwise exploit its Contributions, either on an unmodified

such Contribution.

      2.3 Limitations on Grant Scope

The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under this
License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the distribution
or licensing of Covered Software under this License. Notwithstanding Section
2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a Contributor:

a. for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software; or

b. for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's modifications
of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its Contributions with other
software (except as part of its Contributor Version); or

c. under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of its
Contributions.

This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks, or
logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with the notice
requirements in Section 3.4).

      2.4 Subsequent Licenses

No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to distribute
the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this License (see Section
10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if permitted under the terms
of Section 3.3).

      2.5 Representation

Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its Contributions
are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights to grant the rights
to its Contributions conveyed by this License.

      2.6 Fair Use

This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under applicable
copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other equivalents.

      2.7 Conditions

Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted in
Section 2.1.

   3. Responsibilities

      3.1 Distribution of Source Form

All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any Modifications
that You create or to which You contribute, must be under the terms of this
License. You must inform recipients that the Source Code Form of the Covered
Software is governed by the terms of this License, and how they can obtain
a copy of this License. You must cause any of Your Modifications to carry
prominent notices stating that You changed the files. You may not attempt
to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form.

      3.2 Distribution of Executable Form

      If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:

a. such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code Form,
as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of the Executable
Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code Form by reasonable means
in a timely manner, at a charge no more than the cost of distribution to the
recipient; and

b. You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this License,
or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the license for the
Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter the recipients' rights
in the Source Code Form under this License.

      3.3 Distribution of a Larger Work

You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice, provided
that You also comply with the requirements of this License for the Covered
Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered Software with a work
governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the Covered Software is not
Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this License permits You to additionally
distribute such Covered Software under the terms of such Secondary License(s),
so that the recipient of the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute
the Covered Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
License(s).

      3.4 Notices

You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices (including
copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty, or limitations
of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of the Covered Software,
except that You may alter any license notices to the extent required to remedy
known factual inaccuracies.

      3.5 Application of Additional Terms

3.5.1 You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Software.
However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of any Contributor.
You must make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support, indemnity,
or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify
every Contributor for any liability incurred by such Contributor as a result
of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include
additional disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to
any jurisdiction.

3.5.2 You may place additional conditions upon the rights granted in this
License to the extent necessary due to statute, judicial order, regulation
(including without limitation state and federal procurement regulation), national
security, or public interest. Any such additional conditions must be clearly
described in the notice provisions required under Section 3.4. Any alteration
of the terms of this License will apply to all copies of the Covered Software
distributed by You or by any downstream recipients that receive the Covered
Software from You.

   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 Software 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 notices required under
Section 3.4. 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. Termination

      5.1 Failure to Comply

The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically if You
fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become compliant, then
the rights granted under this License from a particular Contributor are reinstated
(a) provisionally, unless and until such Contributor explicitly and finally
terminates Your grants, and (b) on an ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails
to notify You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60-days
after You have come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor notifies
You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the first time
You have received notice of non-compliance with this License from such Contributor,
and You become compliant prior to 30-days after Your receipt of the notice.

      5.2 Patent Infringement Claims

If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent infringement
claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions, counter-claims, and cross-claims
) alleging that a Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any
patent, then the rights granted to You by any and all Contributors for the
Covered Software under Section 2.1 of this License shall terminate.

      5.3 Additional Compliance Terms

Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 5, for purposes of this Section,
if You breach Section 3.1 (Distribution of Source Form), Section 3.2 (Distribution
of Executable Form), Section 3.3 (Distribution of a Larger Work), or Section
3.4 (Notices), then becoming compliant as described in Section 5.1 must also
include, no later than 30 days after receipt by You of notice of such violation
by a Contributor, making the Covered Software available in Source Code Form
as required by this License on a publicly available computer network for a
period of no less than three (3) years.

      5.4 Contributor Remedies

If You fail to comply with the terms of this License and do not thereafter
become compliant in accordance with Section 5.1 and, if applicable, Section
5.3, then each Contributor reserves its right, in addition to any other rights
it may have in law or in equity, to bring an action seeking injunctive relief,
or damages for willful copyright or patent infringement (including without
limitation damages for unjust enrichment, where available under law), for
all actions in violation of rights that would otherwise have been granted
under the terms of this License.

      5.5 End User License Agreements

In the event of termination under this Section 5, all end user license agreements
(excluding distributors and resellers), which have been validly granted by
You or Your distributors under this License prior to termination shall survive
termination.

   6. Disclaimer of Warranty

Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is" basis, without
warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or statutory, including,
without limitation, warranties that the Covered Software 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 Software is with You. Should
any Covered Software prove defective in any respect, You (not any 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
Software is authorized under this License except under this disclaimer.

   7. Limitation of Liability

Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort (including
negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any Contributor, or anyone who
distributes Covered Software as permitted above, be liable to You for any
direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character
including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of goodwill,
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial
damages or losses, even if such party shall have been informed of the possibility
of such damages. This limitation of liability shall not apply to liability
for death or personal injury resulting from such party's negligence to the
extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some jurisdictions do not
allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
so this exclusion and limitation may not apply to You.

   8. Litigation

Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the courts
of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal place of business
and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that jurisdiction, without
reference to its conflict-of-law provisions. Nothing in this Section shall
prevent a party's ability to bring cross-claims or counter-claims.

   9. Government Terms

      9.1 Commercial Item

The Covered Software is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48
C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and
"commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are used in 48
C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R.
227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire
Covered Software with only those rights set forth herein.

      9.2 No Sovereign Immunity

The U.S. federal government and states that use or distribute Covered Software
hereby waive their sovereign immunity with respect to enforcement of the provisions
of this License.

      9.3 Choice of Law and Venue

9.3.1 If You are a government of a state of the United States, or Your use
of the Covered Software is pursuant to a procurement contract with such a
state government, this License shall be governed by the law of such state,
excluding its conflict-of-law provisions, and the adjudication of disputes
relating to this License will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the state and federal courts located in such state.

9.3.2 If You are an agency of the United States federal government, or Your
use of the Covered Software is pursuant to a procurement contract with such
an agency, this License shall be governed by federal law for all purposes,
and the adjudication of disputes relating to this License will be subject
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts located in Washington,
D.C.

9.3.3 You may alter the terms of this Section 9.3 for this License as described
in Section 3.5.2.

      9.4 Supremacy

This Section 9 is in lieu of, and supersedes, any other Federal Acquisition
Regulation, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation, or other clause or provision
that addresses government rights in computer software under this License.

   10. Miscellaneous

This License represents the complete agreement concerning the 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.
Any law or regulation, which provides that the language of a contract shall
be construed against the drafter, shall not be used to construe this License
against a Contributor.

   11. Versions of the License

      11.1 New Versions

The Open Source Election Technology Foundation ("OSET") (formerly known as
the Open Source Digital Voting Foundation) is the steward of this License.
Except as provided in Section 11.3, no one other than the license steward
has the right to modify or publish new versions of this License. Each version
will be given a distinguishing version number.

      11.2 Effects of New Versions

You may distribute the Covered Software under the terms of the version of
the License under which You originally received the Covered Software, or under
the terms of any subsequent version published by the license steward.

      11.3 Modified Versions

If You create software not governed by this License, and You want to create
a new license for such software, You may create and use a modified version
of this License if You rename the license and remove any references to the
name of the license steward (except to note that such modified license differs
from this License).
