LICENSE

Common Good Public License Beta 1.0

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to limit an Original
Work's distribution. The Common Good Public License seeks to do the
opposite by securing an Original Work's wide spread distribution,
modification, and use by as many people as possible.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the
rights. These restrictions translate to certain duties and
responsibilities for you when you use the software, distribute copies
of the software, or if you modify it.

The License has been inspired by and we acknowledge the work done by
the originators and supporters of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, The Natural Step (TNS), the Free Software Foundation, and
people everywhere who support and work for a sustainable and educated
future.  It is our hope to bring together these three positive
elements for the common good and help create a sustainable future of
communication and technological development.

0.2. You can combine the whole or any part of the Original Works and /
or Derivative Works with Other Works licensed under different licenses

Rights under a Grant of Copyright License without limitations on time
or scope, and most importantly satisfy the condition directly below
this one, part 0.3. of this section 0.0. Duty to Share defined here in
C. Conditions and Duties. To combine the whole or any part of the
Original Works and / or Derivative Works with Other Works licensed
under different licenses those licenses must have a provision
requiring the distribution of the Source Data along with the Original
Work and / or Derivative Work licensed under these other licenses. If
such additional licenses are used on some parts of an Original Work
and / or Derivative Work then any part of an Original Work and / or
Derivative Work licensed under this license shall remain so and may
not be licensed under any other license except by the copyright holder
for a given part.

the Original Work and / or Derivative Work along with each copy of the
Original Work that You distribute if the Original Work and / or
Derivative Work itself is not already Source Data. You reserve the
right to satisfy this obligation by placing a usable copy of the
Source Data in an information repository reasonably calculated to
permit inexpensive and convenient access by licensees for as long as

and / or Derivative Works.

2.0 Duty to Humanity. By your ownership, distribution, modification,
and review You do not violate the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN
RIGHTS adopted and proclaimed by the UN General Assembly Resolution
217 A (http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html), see Appendix [1] which
is hereby considered part of the Terms and Conditions of this License.

D. External Deployment. The term "External Deployment" means the use
or distribution of the Original Work or Derivative Works in any way
such that the Original Work or Derivative Works may be used by anyone
other than You, whether the Original Work or Derivative Works are
distributed to those persons or made available as an application
intended for use over a computer network. As an express condition for
the grants of license hereunder, You agree that any External
Deployment by You of a Derivative Work shall be deemed a distribution
and shall be licensed to all under the terms of this License.

E. Attribution Rights. You must retain, in the Source Code of any
Derivative Works that You create, all copyright, patent or trademark
notices from the Source Code of the Original Work, as well as any
notices of licensing and any descriptive text identified therein as an
"Attribution Notice." You must cause the Source Code for any
Derivative Works that You create to carry a prominent Attribution
Notice reasonably calculated to inform recipients that You have
modified the Original Work.

F. Exclusions From License Grant. Nothing in this License shall be
deemed to grant any rights to trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade
secrets or any other intellectual property of Licensor except as
expressly stated herein. No patent license is granted to make, use,
sell or offer to sell embodiments of any patent claims other than the
Licensed Claims defined in section B.Terms and Rights under a Grant of
Patent License. No right is granted to the trademarks of Licensor even
if such marks are included in the Original Work. Nothing in this
License shall be interpreted to prohibit the Licensor from licensing
under different terms from this License any Original Work that the
Licensor otherwise would have a right to license.

G. Forward Compatible License. CGPL.org may publish revised and/or new
versions of the CGPL 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. Each version is given a
distinguishing version number. If the Program 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 CGPL.org. If the
Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may
choose any version ever published by CGPL.org.

H. Acceptance and Termination. If You distribute copies of the
Original Work or a Derivative Work, You must make a reasonable effort
under the circumstances to obtain the express and volitional assent of
recipients to the terms of this License. Nothing else but this License
(or another written agreement between Licensor and You) grants You
permission to create Derivative Works based upon the Original Work or
to exercise any of the rights granted in sections A. Terms and Rights
under a Grant of Copyright License and B. Terms and Rights under a
Grant of Patent License herein, and any attempt to do so except under
the terms of this License (or another written agreement between
Licensor and You) is expressly prohibited by U.S. copyright law, the
equivalent laws of other countries, and by international
treaty. Therefore, by exercising any of the rights granted to You in
sections A and B herein, You indicate Your acceptance of this License
and all of its Terms and Conditions. This License shall terminate
immediately and you may no longer exercise any of the rights granted
to You by this License upon Your failure to honor the provision in
section C. Conditions and Duties herein.

You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except
as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to
copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program 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.

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 Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.

I. Mutual Termination for Patent Action. This License shall terminate
automatically and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted
to You by this License if You file a lawsuit in any court alleging
that any CGPL licensed Original Work infringes any patent claims that
are essential to own, use, copy, modify, publish, or reviewthat
Original Work.

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 Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of an Original
Work 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 an Original Work.

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.

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 software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.

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

J. Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. Any action or suit relating
to this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction
wherein the Licensor resides or in which Licensor conducts its primary
business, and under the laws of that jurisdiction excluding its
conflict-of-law provisions. The application of the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is
expressly excluded. Any use of the Original Work outside the scope of
this License or after its termination shall be subject to the
requirements and penalties of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101
et seq., the equivalent laws of other countries, and international
treaty. This section shall survive the termination of this License.

K. Attorneys Fees. In any action to enforce the terms of this License
or seeking damages relating thereto, the prevailing party shall be
entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in
connection with such action, including any appeal of such action. This
section shall survive the termination of this License

L. Warranty and Disclaimer of Warranty. Licensor warrants that the
copyright in and to the Original Work is owned by the Licensor or that
the Original Work is distributed by Licensor under a valid current
license from the copyright owner. Except as expressly stated in the
immediately proceeding sentence, the Original Work is provided under
this License on an "AS IS" BASIS and WITHOUT WARRANTY, either express
or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of
NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL WORK IS
WITH YOU. This DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY constitutes an essential part of
this License. No license to Original Work is granted here under except
under this disclaimer.

BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT
WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER
PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "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
PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

M. Limitation of Liability. Under no circumstances and under no legal
theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or
otherwise, shall the Licensor be liable to any person for any direct,
indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any
character arising as a result of this License or the use of the
Original Work including, without limitation, damages for loss of
goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and
all other commercial damages or losses. This limitation of liability
shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting
from Licensor's negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such
limitation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion
and limitation may not apply to You.

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 PROGRAM 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 PROGRAM
(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 PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

N. Miscellaneous. This License represents the complete agreement
concerning the subject matter hereof. If any provision of this License
is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to
the extent necessary

Appendix [1] Univeral Declaration of Human Rights and Conditions
Adopted and proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) of
10 December 1948 On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the
United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of
Human Rights the full text of which appears in the following
pages. Following this historic act the Assembly called upon all Member
countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and "to cause it to
be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools
and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the
political status of countries or territories."

PREAMBLE

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and
inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the
foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in
barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the
advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech
and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the
highest aspiration of the common people,

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have
recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and
oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,

Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly
relations between nations,

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter
reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and
worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and
have determined to promote social progress and better standards of
life in larger freedom,


Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in
co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal
respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,

greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,

Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL
DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for
all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and
