Common Documentation License

Version 1.0 - February 16, 2001

Copyright © 2001 Apple Computer, Inc.

Permission is granted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this License, but changing 
or adding to it in any way is not permitted.

Please read this License carefully before downloading or using this material. By 
downloading or using this material, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this 
License. If you do not or cannot agree to the terms of this License, please do not 
download or use this material.

0. Preamble. The Common Documentation License (CDL) provides a very simple and consistent 
license that allows relatively unrestricted use and redistribution of documents while still 
maintaining the author's credit and intent. To preserve simplicity, the License does not 
specify in detail how (e.g. font size) or where (e.g. title page, etc.) the author should 
be credited. To preserve consistency, changes to the CDL are not allowed and all 
derivatives of CDL documents are required to remain under the CDL. Together, these 
constraints enable third parties to easily and safely reuse CDL documents, making the CDL 
ideal for authors who desire a wide distribution of their work. However, this means the CDL 
does not allow authors to restrict precisely how their work is used or represented, making 
it inappropriate for those desiring more finely-grained control.

1. General; Definitions. This License applies to any documentation, manual or other work 
that contains a notice placed by the Copyright Holder stating that it is subject to the 
terms of this Common Documentation License version 1.0 (or subsequent version thereof) 
("License"). As used in this License:

1.1 "Copyright Holder" means the original author(s) of the Document or other owner(s) of 
the copyright in the Document.

1.2 "Document(s)" means any documentation, manual or other work that has been identified 
as being subject to the terms of this License.

1.3 "Derivative Work" means a work which is based upon a pre-existing Document, such as a 
revision, modification, translation, abridgment, condensation, expansion, or any other 
form in which such pre-existing Document may be recast, transformed, or adapted.

1.4 "You" or "Your" means an individual or a legal entity exercising rights under this 
License.

2. Basic License. Subject to all the terms and conditions of this License, You may use, 
copy, modify, publicly display, distribute and publish the Document and your Derivative 
Works thereof, in any medium physical or electronic, commercially or non-commercially; 
provided that: (a) all copyright notices in the Document are preserved; (b) a copy of 
this License, or an incorporation of it by reference in proper form as indicated in 
Exhibit A below, is included in a conspicuous location in all copies such that it would 
be reasonably viewed by the recipient of the Document; and (c) You add no other terms or 
conditions to those of this License.

3. Derivative Works. All Derivative Works are subject to the terms of this License. You 
may copy and distribute a Derivative Work of the Document under the conditions of 
Section 2 above, provided that You release the Derivative Work under the exact, verbatim 
terms of this License (i.e., the Derivative Work is licensed as a "Document" under the 
terms of this License). In addition, Derivative Works of Documents must meet the 
following requirements:

    (a) All copyright and license notices in the original Document must be preserved.

    (b) An appropriate copyright notice for your Derivative Work must be added adjacent 
        to the other copyright notices.

    (c) A statement briefly summarizing how your Derivative Work is different from the 
        original Document must be included in the same place as your copyright notice.

    (d) If it is not reasonably evident to a recipient of your Derivative Work that the 
        Derivative Work is subject to the terms of this License, a statement indicating 
        such fact must be included in the same place as your copyright notice.

4. Compilation with Independent Works. You may compile or combine a Document or its 
Derivative Works with other separate and independent documents or works to create a 
compilation work ("Compilation"). If included in a Compilation, the Document or Derivative 
Work thereof must still be provided under the terms of this License, and the Compilation 
shall contain (a) a notice specifying the inclusion of the Document and/or Derivative Work 
and the fact that it is subject to the terms of this License, and (b) either a copy of the 
License or an incorporation by reference in proper form (as indicated in Exhibit A). Mere 
aggregation of a Document or Derivative Work with other documents or works on the same 
storage or distribution medium (e.g. a CD-ROM) will not cause this License to apply to 
those other works.

5. NO WARRANTY. THE DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED 'AS IS' BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND 
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO 
THE DOCUMENT, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE 
IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF 
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND OF NONINFRINGEMENT 
OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.

6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER BE LIABLE 
FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING 
TO THIS LICENSE OR YOUR USE, REPRODUCTION, MODIFICATION, DISTRIBUTION AND/OR PUBLICATION OF 
THE DOCUMENT, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT 
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER HAS 
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF 
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY.

7. Trademarks. This License does not grant any rights to use any names, trademarks, service 
marks or logos of the Copyright Holder (collectively "Marks") and no such Marks may be used 
to endorse or promote works or products derived from the Document without the prior written 
permission of the Copyright Holder.

8. Versions of the License. Apple Computer, Inc. ("Apple") may publish revised and/or new 
versions of this License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing 
version number. Once a Document has been published under a particular version of this License, 
You may continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use 
such Document under the terms of any subsequent version of this License published by Apple. 
No one other than Apple has the right to modify the terms applicable to Documents created 
under this License.

9. Termination. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically if 
You fail to comply with any of its terms. Upon termination, You must immediately stop any 
further reproduction, modification, public display, distr ibution and publication of the 
Document and Derivative Works. However, all sublicenses to the Document and Derivative Works 
which have been properly granted prior to termination shall survive any termination of this
 License. Provisions which, by their nat ure, must remain in effect beyond the termination of 
this License shall survive, including but not limited to Sections 5, 6, 7, 9 and 10.

10. Waiver; Severability; Governing Law. Failure by the Copyright Holder to enforce any 
provision of this License will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any 
other provision. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of 
this License, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the License will be 
enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the economic benefits and intent 
of the parties, and the remainder of this License will continue in full force and effect. This 
License shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, except 
that body of California law concerning conflicts of law.
