+University, Copyright (c) 1993-2009, all rights reserved. Since DOC software
+is open-source, freely available software, you are free to use, modify, copy,
+and distribute--perpetually and irrevocably--the DOC software source code
+and object code produced from the source, as well as copy and distribute modified
+versions of this software. You must, however, include this copyright statement
+along with any code built using DOC software that you release. No copyright
+statement needs to be provided if you just ship binary executables of your

+You can use DOC software in commercial and/or binary software releases and

+using DOC software. Note, however, that you may not misappropriate the DOC
+software code, such as copyrighting it yourself or claiming authorship of
+the DOC software code, in a way that will prevent DOC software from being
+distributed freely using an open-source development model. You needn't inform
+anyone that you're using DOC software in your software, though we encourage
+you to let us know so we can promote your project in the DOC software success
+stories.

+A number of companies around the world provide commercial support for DOC
+software, however. DOC software is Y2K-compliant, as long as the underlying
+OS platform is Y2K-compliant. Likewise, DOC software is compliant with the
+new US daylight savings rule passed by Congress as "The Energy Policy Act
+of 2005," which established new daylight savings times (DST) rules for the
+United States that expand DST as of March 2007. Since DOC software obtains
+time/date and calendaring information from operating systems users will not
+be affected by the new DST rules as long as they upgrade their operating systems
+accordingly.
