                CeCILL FREE SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
     Notice
 This Agreement is a Free Software license agreement that is the result
 of discussions between its authors in order to ensure compliance with
 the two main principles guiding its drafting:
     * firstly, compliance with the principles governing the distribution
       of Free Software: access to source code, broad rights granted to
       users,
     * secondly, the election of a governing law, French law, with which
       it is conformant, both as regards the law of torts and
       intellectual property law, and the protection that it offers to
       both authors and holders of the economic rights over software.
 The authors of the CeCILL (for Ce[a] C[nrs] I[nria] L[logiciel] L[ibre])
 license are:
 Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique - CEA, a public scientific, technical
 and industrial research establishment, having its principal place of
 business at 25 rue Leblanc, immeuble Le Ponant D, 75015 Paris, France.
 Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique - CNRS, a public scientific
 and technological research establishment, having its principal place of
 business at 3 rue Michel-Ange, 75794 Paris cedex 16, France.
 Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique -
 INRIA, a public scientific and technological establishment, having its
 principal place of business at Domaine de Voluceau, Rocquencourt, BP
 , 78153 Le Chesnay cedex, France.
     Preamble
 The purpose of this Free Software license agreement is to grant users
 the right to modify and redistribute the software governed by this
 license within the framework of an open source distribution model.
 The exercising of these rights is conditional upon certain obligations
 for users so as to preserve this status for all subsequent redistributions.
 In consideration of access to the source code and the rights to copy,
 modify and redistribute granted by the license, users are provided only
 with a limited warranty and the software's author, the holder of the
 economic rights, and the successive licensors only have limited liability.
 In this respect, the risks associated with loading, using, modifying
 and/or developing or reproducing the software by the user are brought to
 the user's attention, given its Free Software status, which may make it
 complicated to use, with the result that its use is reserved for
 developers and experienced professionals having in-depth computer
 knowledge. Users are therefore encouraged to load and test the suitability
 of the software as regards their requirements in conditions enabling
 the security of their systems and/or data to be ensured and, more
 generally, to use and operate it in the same conditions of security.
 This Agreement may be freely reproduced and published, provided it is not
 altered, and that no provisions are either added or removed herefrom.
 This Agreement may apply to any or all software for which the holder of
 the economic rights decides to submit the use thereof to its provisions.

     Article 7 - RELATED SERVICES
 .1 Under no circumstances shall the Agreement oblige the Licensor to
 provide technical assistance or maintenance services for the Software.
 However, the Licensor is entitled to offer this type of services. The
 terms and conditions of such technical assistance, and/or such
 maintenance, shall be set forth in a separate instrument. Only the
 Licensor offering said maintenance and/or technical assistance services
 shall incur liability therefor.
 .2 Similarly, any Licensor is entitled to offer to its licensees, under
 its sole responsibility, a warranty, that shall only be binding upon
 itself, for the redistribution of the Software and/or the Modified

 opportunity cost, any disturbance to business activities) or any or all
 legal proceedings instituted against the Licensee by a third party,
 shall constitute consequential loss and shall not provide entitlement to
 any or all compensation from the Licensor.
     Article 9 - WARRANTY
 .1 The Licensee acknowledges that the scientific and technical
 state-of-the-art when the Software was distributed did not enable all
 possible uses to be tested and verified, nor for the presence of
 possible defects to be detected. In this respect, the Licensee's
 attention has been drawn to the risks associated with loading, using,
 modifying and/or developing and reproducing the Software which are
 reserved for experienced users.
 The Licensee shall be responsible for verifying, by any or all means,
 the suitability of the product for its requirements, its good working order,
 and for ensuring that it shall not cause damage to either persons or
 properties.
 .2 The Licensor hereby represents, in good faith, that it is entitled
 to grant all the rights over the Software (including in particular the
 rights set forth in Article 5).
 .3 The Licensee acknowledges that the Software is supplied "as is" by
 the Licensor without any other express or tacit warranty, other than
 that provided for in Article 9.2 and, in particular, without any warranty
 as to its commercial value, its secured, safe, innovative or relevant
 nature.
 Specifically, the Licensor does not warrant that the Software is free
 from any error, that it will operate without interruption, that it will
 be compatible with the Licensee's own equipment and software
 configuration, nor that it will meet the Licensee's requirements.
 .4 The Licensor does not either expressly or tacitly warrant that the
 Software does not infringe any third party intellectual property right
 relating to a patent, software or any other property right. Therefore,
 the Licensor disclaims any and all liability towards the Licensee
 arising out of any or all proceedings for infringement that may be
 instituted in respect of the use, modification and redistribution of the
 Software. Nevertheless, should such proceedings be instituted against
 the Licensee, the Licensor shall provide it with technical and legal
 assistance for its defense. Such technical and legal assistance shall be
 decided on a case-by-case basis between the relevant Licensor and the
 Licensee pursuant to a memorandum of understanding. The Licensor
 disclaims any and all liability as regards the Licensee's use of the
 name of the Software. No warranty is given as regards the existence of
 prior rights over the name of the Software or as regards the existence
 of a trademark.
     Article 10 - TERMINATION
 .1 In the event of a breach by the Licensee of its obligations
 hereunder, the Licensor may automatically terminate this Agreement
 thirty (30) days after notice has been sent to the Licensee and has
 remained ineffective.
 .2 A Licensee whose Agreement is terminated shall no longer be
 authorized to use, modify or distribute the Software. However, any
 licenses that it may have granted prior to termination of the Agreement
 shall remain valid subject to their having been granted in compliance
 with the terms and conditions hereof.
     Article 11 - MISCELLANEOUS
 .1 EXCUSABLE EVENTS
 Neither Party shall be liable for any or all delay, or failure to
 perform the Agreement, that may be attributable to an event of force
 majeure, an act of God or an outside cause, such as defective
 functioning or interruptions of the electricity or telecommunications
 networks, network paralysis following a virus attack, intervention by
 government authorities, natural disasters, water damage, earthquakes,
 fire, explosions, strikes and labor unrest, war, etc.
 .2 Any failure by either Party, on one or more occasions, to invoke
 one or more of the provisions hereof, shall under no circumstances be
 interpreted as being a waiver by the interested Party of its right to
 invoke said provision(s) subsequently.
 .3 The Agreement cancels and replaces any or all previous agreements,
 whether written or oral, between the Parties and having the same
 purpose, and constitutes the entirety of the agreement between said
 Parties concerning said purpose. No supplement or modification to the
 terms and conditions hereof shall be effective as between the Parties
 unless it is made in writing and signed by their duly authorized
 representatives.
 .4 In the event that one or more of the provisions hereof were to
 conflict with a current or future applicable act or legislative text,
 said act or legislative text shall prevail, and the Parties shall make
 the necessary amendments so as to comply with said act or legislative
 text. All other provisions shall remain effective. Similarly, invalidity
 of a provision of the Agreement, for any reason whatsoever, shall not
 cause the Agreement as a whole to be invalid.
 .5 LANGUAGE
 The Agreement is drafted in both French and English and both versions
 are deemed authentic.
     Article 12 - NEW VERSIONS OF THE AGREEMENT
 .1 Any person is authorized to duplicate and distribute copies of this
 Agreement.
 .2 So as to ensure coherence, the wording of this Agreement is
 protected and may only be modified by the authors of the License, who
 reserve the right to periodically publish updates or new versions of the
 Agreement, each with a separate number. These subsequent versions may
 address new issues encountered by Free Software.
 .3 Any Software distributed under a given version of the Agreement may
 only be subsequently distributed under the same version of the Agreement
 or a subsequent version, subject to the provisions of Article 5.3.4.
     Article 13 - GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

 endeavor to seek an amicable solution to any disagreements or disputes
 that may arise during the performance of the Agreement.
