community. Our objective is to ensure that the Frameworx Code Base, and the
source code for improvements and innovations to it, remain free and open to the
community.To further these beliefs and objectives, we are distributing the
Frameworx Code Base, without royalties and in source code form, to the
community pursuant to this License Agreement.

4. Restrictions on Open Downstream Distributions. Each Downstream Distribution
made by You, and by any party directly or indirectly obtaining rights to the
Frameworx Code Base through You, shall be made subject to a license grant or
agreement to the extent necessary so that each distributee under that
Downstream Distribution will be subject to the same restrictions on re-
distribution and use as are binding on You hereunder. You may satisfy this
licensing requirement either by:

(a) requiring as a condition to any Downstream Distribution made by you, or by
any direct or indirect distributee of Your Downstream Distribution (or any
portion or element thereof), that each distributee under the relevant
Downstream Distribution obtain a direct license (on the same terms and
conditions as those in this License Agreement) from The Frameworx Company; or

(b) sub-licensing all (and not less than all) of Your rights and obligations
hereunder to that distributee, including (without limitation) Your obligation
to require distributees to be bound by license restrictions as contemplated by
this Section 4 above.

The Frameworx Company hereby grants to you all rights to sub-license your
rights hereunder as necessary to fully effect the intent and purpose of this
Section 4 above, provided, however, that your rights and obligations hereunder
shall be unaffected by any such sublicensing. In addition, The Frameworx
Company expressly retains all rights to take all appropriate action (including
legal action) against any such direct or indirect sub-licensee to ensure its
full compliance with the intent and purposes of this License Agreement.

5. Intellectual Property. Except as expressly provided herein, this License
Agreement preserves and respects Your and The Frameworx Companys respective
intellectual property rights, including, in the case of The Frameworx Company,
its copyrights and patent rights relating to the Frameworx Code Base.

SOFTWARE, BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY,
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) PROCUREMENT OF
SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS
INTERRUPTION) 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 OF THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH DAMAGE.

7. License Violation. The License, and all of your rights thereunder, shall be
deemed automatically terminated and void as of any Downstream Distribution
directly or indirectly made or facilitated by You that violates the provisions
of this License Agreement, provided, however, that this License Agreement shall
survive any such termination in order to remedy the effects of such violation.
This License Agreement shall be binding on the legal successors and assigns of
the parties hereto.

your acceptance of the relevant software distribution hereunder.
