other than You.

1.5 "Larger Work" means a work which combines Covered Code or portions thereof with code not governed by the

2. Permitted Uses; Conditions & Restrictions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Apple hereby grants
You, effective on the date You accept this License and download the Original Code, a world-wide, royalty-free,
non-exclusive license, to the extent of Apple's Applicable Patent Rights and copyrights covering the Original Code, to
do the following:

2.1 Unmodified Code. You may use, reproduce, display, perform, internally distribute within Your organization, and
Externally Deploy verbatim, unmodified copies of the Original Code, for commercial or non-commercial purposes,
provided that in each instance:

(a) You must retain and reproduce in all copies of Original Code the copyright and other proprietary notices and
disclaimers of Apple as they appear in the Original Code, and keep intact all notices in the Original Code that refer to
this License; and

(b) You must include a copy of this License with every copy of Source Code of Covered Code and documentation You
distribute or Externally Deploy, and You may not offer or impose any terms on such Source Code that alter or restrict
this License or the recipients' rights hereunder, except as permitted under Section 6.

2.2 Modified Code. You may modify Covered Code and use, reproduce, display, perform, internally distribute within
Your organization, and Externally Deploy Your Modifications and Covered Code, for commercial or
non-commercial purposes, provided that in each instance You also meet all of these conditions:

(a) You must satisfy all the conditions of Section 2.1 with respect to the Source Code of the Covered Code;

(b) You must duplicate, to the extent it does not already exist, the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source Code of
all Your Modifications, and cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You changed the files and
the date of any change; and

(c) If You Externally Deploy Your Modifications, You must make Source Code of all Your Externally Deployed
Modifications either available to those to whom You have Externally Deployed Your Modifications, or publicly
available. Source Code of Your Externally Deployed Modifications must be released under the terms set forth in this
License, including the license grants set forth in Section 3 below, for as long as you Externally Deploy the Covered Code
or twelve (12) months from the date of initial External Deployment, whichever is longer. You should preferably
distribute the Source Code of Your Externally Deployed Modifications electronically (e.g. download from a web
site).

2.3 Distribution of Executable Versions. In addition, if You Externally Deploy Covered Code (Original Code and/or
Modifications) in object code, executable form only, You must include a prominent notice, in the code itself as well as
in related documentation, stating that Source Code of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License
with information on how and where to obtain such Source Code.

Software License Terms

2.4 Third Party Rights. You expressly acknowledge and agree that although Apple and each Contributor grants the
licenses to their respective portions of the Covered Code set forth herein, no assurances are provided by Apple or any
Contributor that the Covered Code does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other
entity. Apple and each Contributor disclaim any liability to You 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, You hereby assume sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For
example, if a third party patent license is required to allow You to distribute the Covered Code, it is Your responsibility
to acquire that license before distributing the Covered Code.

3. Your Grants. In consideration of, and as a condition to, the licenses granted to You under this License, You hereby
grant to any person or entity receiving or distributing Covered Code under this License a non-exclusive, royalty-free,
perpetual, irrevocable license, under Your Applicable Patent Rights and other intellectual property rights (other than
patent) owned or controlled by You, to use, reproduce, display, perform, modify, sublicense, distribute and Externally
Deploy Your Modifications of the same scope and extent as Apple's licenses under Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above.

4. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code not governed by the
terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In each such instance, You must make sure the
requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code or any portion thereof.

5. Limitations on Patent License. Except as expressly stated in Section 2, no other patent rights, express or implied, are
granted by Apple herein. Modifications and/or Larger Works may require additional patent licenses from Apple
which Apple may grant in its sole discretion.

6. Additional Terms. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability
obligations and/or other rights consistent with the scope of the license granted herein ("Additional Terms") to one or
more recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf and as Your sole responsibility,
and not on behalf of Apple or any Contributor. You must obtain the recipient's agreement that any such Additional
Terms are offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold Apple and every Contributor
harmless for any liability incurred by or claims asserted against Apple or such Contributor by reason of any such
Additional Terms.

7. Versions of the License. Apple may publish revised and/or new versions of this License from time to time. Each
version will be given a distinguishing version number. Once Original Code has been published under a particular
version of this License, You may continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such
Original Code under the terms of any subsequent version of this License published by Apple. No one other than Apple
has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.

8. NO WARRANTY OR SUPPORT. The Covered Code may contain in whole or in part pre-release, untested, or not
fully tested works. The Covered Code may contain errors that could cause failures or loss of data, and may be
incomplete or contain inaccuracies. You expressly acknowledge and agree that use of the Covered Code, or any
portion thereof, is at Your sole and entire risk. THE COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT
WARRANTY, UPGRADES OR SUPPORT OF ANY KIND AND APPLE AND APPLE'S LICENSOR(S)
(COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS "APPLE" FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 8 AND 9) AND ALL
CONTRIBUTORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY, OF SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OF
ACCURACY, OF QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. APPLE AND
EACH CONTRIBUTOR DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF
THE COVERED CODE, THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE COVERED CODE WILL MEET YOUR
REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE COVERED CODE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR
ERROR-FREE, OR THAT DEFECTS IN THE COVERED CODE WILL BE CORRECTED. NO ORAL OR
WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY APPLE, AN APPLE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OR
ANY CONTRIBUTOR SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. You acknowledge that the Covered Code is not intended
for use in the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation, communication systems, or air traffic control
machines in which case the failure of the Covered Code could lead to death, personal injury, or severe physical or
environmental damage.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL APPLE
OR ANY CONTRIBUTOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LICENSE OR YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
COVERED CODE, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT,
WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCTS LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF APPLE
OR SUCH CONTRIBUTOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY. SOME JURISDICTIONS
DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO
THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall Apple's total liability to You for all damages (other
than as may be required by applicable law) under this License exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00).

10. Trademarks. This License does not grant any rights to use the trademarks or trade names "Apple", "Apple
Computer", "Mac", "Mac OS", "QuickTime", "QuickTime Streaming Server" or any other trademarks, service marks,
logos or trade names belonging to Apple (collectively "Apple Marks") or to any trademark, service mark, logo or trade
name belonging to any Contributor. You agree not to use any Apple Marks in or as part of the name of products
derived from the Original Code or to endorse or promote products derived from the Original Code other than as
expressly permitted by and in strict compliance at all times with Apple's third party trademark usage guidelines which
are posted at http://www.apple.com/legal/guidelinesfor3rdparties.html.

11. Ownership. Subject to the licenses granted under this License, each Contributor retains all rights, title and interest
in and to any Modifications made by such Contributor. Apple retains all rights, title and interest in and to the Original
Code and any Modifications made by or on behalf of Apple ("Apple Modifications"), and such Apple Modifications
will not be automatically subject to this License. Apple may, at its sole discretion, choose to license such Apple
Modifications under this License, or on different terms from those contained in this License or may choose not to
license them at all.

12. Termination.

12.1 Termination. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate:

(a) automatically without notice from Apple if You fail to comply with any term(s) of this License and fail to cure such
breach within 30 days of becoming aware of such breach;

(b) immediately in the event of the circumstances described in Section 13.5(b); or

(c) automatically without notice from Apple if You, at any time during the term of this License, commence an action
for patent infringement against Apple; provided that Apple did not first commence an action for patent infringement
against You in that instance.

12.2 Effect of Termination. Upon termination, You agree to immediately stop any further use, reproduction,
modification, sublicensing and distribution of the Covered Code. All sublicenses to the Covered Code which have
been properly granted prior to termination shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their
nature, should remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive, including but not limited to
Sections 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.2 and 13. No party will be liable to any other for compensation, indemnity or damages of
any sort solely as a result of terminating this License in accordance with its terms, and termination of this License will
be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of any party.

13. Miscellaneous.

13.1 Government End Users. The Covered Code is a "commercial item" as defined in FAR 2.101. Government software
and technical data rights in the Covered Code include only those rights customarily provided to the public as defined
in this License. This customary commercial license in technical data and software is provided in accordance with FAR
12.211 (Technical Data) and 12.212 (Computer Software) and, for Department of Defense purchases, DFAR
252.227-7015 (Technical Data -- Commercial Items) and 227.7202-3 (Rights in Commercial Computer Software or
Computer Software Documentation). Accordingly, all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only
those rights set forth herein.

Software License Terms

13.2 Relationship of Parties. This License will not be construed as creating an agency, partnership, joint venture or any
other form of legal association between or among You, Apple or any Contributor, and You will not represent to the
contrary, whether expressly, by implication, appearance or otherwise.

13.3 Independent Development. Nothing in this License will impair Apple's right to acquire, license, develop, have
others develop for it, market and/or distribute technology or products that perform the same or similar functions as, or
otherwise compete with, Modifications, Larger Works, technology or products that You may develop, produce,
market or distribute.

13.4 Waiver; Construction. Failure by Apple or any Contributor to enforce any provision of this License will not be
deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision. Any law or regulation which provides that the
language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter will not apply to this License.

13.5 Severability. (a) If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this License, or portion
thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision of the License will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to
effect the economic benefits and intent of the parties, and the remainder of this License will continue in full force and
effect. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if applicable law prohibits or restricts You from fully and/or specifically
complying with Sections 2 and/or 3 or prevents the enforceability of either of those Sections, this License will
immediately terminate and You must immediately discontinue any use of the Covered Code and destroy all copies of it
that are in your possession or control.

13.6 Dispute Resolution. Any litigation or other dispute resolution between You and Apple relating to this License
shall take place in the Northern District of California, and You and Apple hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction
of, and venue in, the state and federal courts within that District with respect to this License. The application of the
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

13.7 Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof. This License shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California,
except that body of California law concerning conflicts of law.

Where You are located in the province of Quebec, Canada, the following clause applies: The parties hereby confirm
that they have requested that this License and all related documents be drafted in English.

Les parties ont exigé que le présent contrat et tous les documents connexes soient rédigés en anglais.
