OASIS PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 1, September 1999

Copyright 1999 Jonathan Blake. Everyone is permitted to copy and 
distribute verbatim copies of this license document. If you modify this
License in any way, you must remove all words and phrases associated with
Jonathan Blake or Desert Lynx's Lone Wolf Oasis such as "Oasis", "Desert

Based upon GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2 Copyright 1989, 1991

Preamble

This License is a derivative work of and owes much of its language to the
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2. The GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE can
be obtained at http://www.gnu.org/ or by writing to:

  Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  59 Temple Place - Suite 330
  Boston, MA  02111-1307
  USA

This License's purpose is to make appropriate modifications to the GNU
GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE to make it applicable to works other than
software. This was acheived by replacing certain words that referred
specifically to software or ideas associated with software. For example,
"Program" was replaced by "Document" and "patent" was replaced by
"copyright". Section 3 of the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE was omitted as
it dealt with ideas solely applicable to software.

The intent of this License it to allow distribution of a document but
protect the rights of the document's recipients and of the original
author. Only the author of the document holds copyrights. Recipients are
granted rights sufficient to copy, modify and distribute the document
only on condition that everyone (including those that receive a modified
version) is allowed the exactly same rights without abridgement.

To protect your document under the terms of this License, include text
following the pattern of Exhibit A within the document:

This notification may appear within any standard method of commenting as
long as the recipient has a reasonable method of viewing these comments.
For example, it may appear within SGML comments (<!-- Notification here -
->). It would be inappropriate, however, to place the notification within
Compuserve GIF comments; few people have the facilities to read such
comments.

0. Scope of License

0.0 This License applies to any Document or other work which contains a
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under
the terms of this Oasis Public License. Such License notification must
follow the pattern shown in Exhibit A. The "Document", below, refers to
any such document or work, and a "work based on the Document" means
either the Document or any derivative work under copyright law: that is
to say, a work containing the Document or a portion of it, either
verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
"modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".

0.1 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.

1. License Notification

1.0 You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Document's source
code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice
and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to
this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
recipients of the Document a copy of this License along with the
Document. The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making modifications to it.

1.1 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. Modification and Aggregation

2.0 You may modify your copy or copies of the Document or any portion of
it, thus forming a work based on the Document, and copy and distribute
such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:
	1. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the Document and the date and nature of any
change.
	2. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Document or any part
thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
under the terms of this License.

2.1 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Document, and
can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
the Document, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

2.2 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Document.

2.3 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
Document with the Document (or with a work based on the Document) on a
volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work
under the scope of this License.

2.4 You may not make any modifications to the Document or works based on
the Document and/or aggregations of the Document with other works for
which any party claims intellectual property rights such as would make
void any portion of this License.

3. Termination of License

3.0 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to
copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
automatically and immediately terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
remain in full compliance.

3.1 Upon termination, you agree to immediately stop any further use,
copying, modification, sublicensing and distribution of the Document and
to destroy all copies of the Document that are in your possession or
control. Provisions which, by their nature, should remain in effect
beyond the termination of this License shall survive.

4. Acceptance of License Terms

4.0 You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Document or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Document (or any work based on the
Document), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all
its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
Document or works based on it.

5. Rights of Third-party Recipients

5.0 Each time you redistribute the Document (or any work based on the
Document), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Document subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions
on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

6. Conflicts of Jurisdiction

6.0 If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of copyright
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to copyright issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute
so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and
any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Document at all. For example, if a copyright would not
permit royalty-free redistribution of the Document by all those who
receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you
could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the Document.

6.1 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.

6.2 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such
claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of
the free document distribution system, which is implemented by public
license practices.

6.3 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.

7. Limitation of Distribution

7.0 If the distribution and/or use of the Document is restricted in
certain countries either by copyrights, the original copyright holder who
places the Document under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution
is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case,
this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of
this License.

8. New Versions of the License

8.0 Desert Lynx's Lone Wolf Oasis may publish revised and/or new versions
of the Oasis Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.

8.1 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Document specifies a version number of this License which applies to it
and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
the Desert Lynx's Lone Wolf Oasis. If the Document does not specify a
version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published
by the Desert Lynx's Lone Wolf Oasis.

9. Other Licenses

9.0 If you wish to incorporate parts of the Document into other free
Documents whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
author to ask for permission.

10. NO WARRANTY

10.0 BECAUSE THE DOCUMENT IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE DOCUMENT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE DOCUMENT "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE DOCUMENT IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
DOCUMENT PROVE INACCURATE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
CORRECTION.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

11.0 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE DOCUMENT AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE DOCUMENT EVEN IF
SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
