The intent of this License is to establish freedom to share
and change the software regulated by this License under the

This License applies to any software and documents containing
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying that it may be
distributed under the terms of the Tangentum Public License v1.0.
Such software is herein referred to as the Software.
This License covers modification and distribution of the
Software, use of third-party application programs based
on the Software, and development of free software which
uses the Software.
GRANTED RIGHTS
1. You are granted the non-exclusive rights set forth in this License
provided you agree to and comply with any and all conditions in this
License. Whole or partial distribution of the Software, or software
items that contains, uses, or link with the Software, in any form,
signifies acceptance of this License.
2. You may copy and distribute the Software in unmodified form provided
that the entire package, including - but not restricted to - copyright,
trademark notices and disclaimers, as released by the initial author
of the Software, is distributed.
3. You may make modifications to the Software and distribute your
modifications, in a form that is separate from the Software, such
as patches. The following restrictions apply to modifications:
a. Modifications must not alter or remove any copyright notices in
the Software.
b. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
c. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains, uses, or is derived from the Software
or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all
third parties under the terms of this License.
d. When modifications to the Software are released under this License,
a non-exclusive royalty-free right is granted to the initial author
of the Software to distribute your modification in future versions of
the Software provided such versions remain available under these terms
in addition to any other license(s) of the initial author.
4. You may distribute machine-executable forms of the Software or
machine-executable forms of modified versions of the Software, provided
that you meet these restrictions:
a. You must include this license document in the distribution.
b. You must ensure that all recipients of the machine-executable forms
are also able to receive the complete machine-readable source code to
the distributed Software, including all modifications, without any charge
beyond the costs of data transfer, and place prominent notices in the
distribution explaining this.
c. You must ensure that all modifications included in the
machine-executable forms are available under the terms of this License.
5. You may develop application programs, reusable components and
other software items that link with the original or modified versions
of the Software. These items, when distributed, are subject to the
following requirements:
a. You must ensure that all recipients of machine-executable forms of
these items are also able to receive and use the complete
machine-readable source code to the items without any charge beyond
the costs of data transfer.
b. You must explicitly license all recipients of your items to use and
re-distribute original and modified versions of the items in both
machine-executable and source code forms. The recipients must be able
to do so without any charges whatsoever, and they must be able to
re-distribute to anyone they choose.
c. If the items are not available to the general public, and the initial
author of the Software requests a copy of the items, then you must
supply one.
6. You must ensure that all software and documents generated or
transformed by the original or modified versions of the Software
are also available under the terms of this License.
7. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Software
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Software is
void, and will automatically 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.
8. You may not generate revenues from the use of the Software
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to use the Software
commercially is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
under this License. If you are interested in the commercial use of
the Software, you are required to get a commercial license from the
initial author of the Software.
9. 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 Software or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Software (or any work based on the
Software), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Software or works based on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Software (or any work based on the
Software), the recipient automatically receives a License from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Software 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.
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent 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 Software at all.
12. If the distribution and/or use of the Software is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Software 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.
13. If any portion of this License is held invalid or unenforceable
under any particular circumstance, the balance of the License is
intended to apply and the License as a whole is intended to apply in
other circumstances.
LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
In no event shall the initial authors or copyright holders be
liable for any damages whatsoever, including - but not restricted to -
lost revenue or profits or other direct, indirect, special, incidental
or consequential damages, even if they have been advised of the
possibility of such damages, except to the extent invariable law,
if any, provides otherwise.
NO WARRANTY
BECAUSE THE SOFTWARE IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE SOFTWARE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE SOFTWARE "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 AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE IS
WITH YOU. SHOULD THE SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
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 SOFTWARE 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 SOFTWARE
(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE
OF THE SOFTWARE TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

This License is governed by the Laws of Germany. Disputes shall be
settled by Karlsruhe City Court.
