                     QoSient Public License 

THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS 
QOSIENT PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR 
DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF 
THIS AGREEMENT. 


1. DEFINITIONS 

"Contribution" means: 

    a. in the case of QoSient ("QoSient"), the Original Program, and 

    b. in the case of each Contributor, 

         i. changes to the Program, and 

        ii. additions to the Program;

       where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate
       from and are distributed by that particular Contributor.

A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added
to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such
Contributor's behalf. 

Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are
separate modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program
under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of
the Program. 

"Contributor" means QoSient LLC ("QoSient") and any other entity that
distributes the Program.  "Original Program" means the original version
of the software accompanying this Agreement as released by QoSient,
including source code, object code and documentation, if any. 

"Program" means the Original Program and Contributions. 

"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement,
including all Contributors. 


2. GRANT OF RIGHTS 

   a. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby
grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license
to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,
distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and
such derivative works, in source code and object code form. 

   b. Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the
licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided
by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other
intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims
any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on
infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to
exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby 
assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights
needed, if any.  For example, if a third party patent license is required to
allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility
to acquire that license before distributing the Program. 

   c. Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient
copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license
set forth in this Agreement. 


3. REQUIREMENTS 

A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under
its own license agreement, provided that: 

   a. it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and 

   b. its license agreement: 
        i. effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties
           and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or
           conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties
           or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose; 

       ii. effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability
           for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental
           and consequential damages, such as lost profits; 

      iii. states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement
           are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party;
           and

       iv. states that source code for the Program is available from such
           Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a
           reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for
           software exchange. 

When the Program is made available in source code form: 
   a. it must be made available under this Agreement; and 

   b. a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy
of the Program. 


Each Contributor must include the following in a conspicuous location
in the Program: 

   Copyright (C) 2000 QoSient, LLC. All Rights Reserved. 

In addition, each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of
its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent
Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution. 


4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION 

Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with
respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is
intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor
who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a
manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors.
Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product
offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to
defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor")
against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from
claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against
the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions
of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the
Program in a commercial product offering.

The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating
to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement.

In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must:

   a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and

   b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the
Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations.
The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense. 

For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product
offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that
Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related
to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial
Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor
would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to 
those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other
Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must
pay those damages. 


5. NO WARRANTY 

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS 
PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY 
KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY 
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of
using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with
its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to
the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws,
damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or
interruption of operations. 


6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY 

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT 
NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, 
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES 
(INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), 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 OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS 
GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH 
DAMAGES. 


7. GENERAL 

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under
applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action
by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum
extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable. 

If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect
to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim
in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to
such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such
litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation
against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit)
alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program
with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s),
then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate
as of the date such litigation is filed. 

All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails
to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement
and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming
aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement
terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program
as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under
this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program
shall continue and survive. 

QoSient may publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from
time to time.  Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing
version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed
subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition,
after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to
distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the new version.

No one other than QoSient has the right to modify this Agreement. Except as
expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights
or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement,
whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in
the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved. 

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the
intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this
Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year
after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial
in any resulting litigation.
