(( BitTorrent Open Source License

Version 1.0 ))??

This BitTorrent Open Source License (the "License") applies to the BitTorrent
client and related software products as well as any updates or maintenance
releases of that software ("BitTorrent Products") that are distributed by
BitTorrent, Inc. ("Licensor"). Any BitTorrent Product licensed pursuant to this
License is a Licensed Product. Licensed Product, in its entirety, is protected
by U.S. copyright law. This License identifies the terms under which you may
use, copy, distribute or modify Licensed Product.

Preamble

This Preamble is intended to describe, in plain English, the nature and scope of
this License. However, this Preamble is not a part of this license. The legal
effect of this License is dependent only upon the terms of the License and not
this Preamble.

This License complies with the Open Source Definition and is derived from the
Jabber Open Source License 1.0 (the "JOSL"), which has been approved by Open
Source Initiative. Sections 4(c) and 4(f)(iii) from the JOSL have been dropped.

This License provides that:

   (( 1. ))??
   You may use, sell or give away the Licensed Product, alone or as a component
   of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several
   different sources. No royalty or other fee is required.

   (( 2. ))??
   Both Source Code and executable versions of the Licensed Product, including
   Modifications made by previous Contributors, are available for your use. (The
   terms "Licensed Product," "Modifications," "Contributors" and "Source Code"
   are defined in the License.)

   (( 3. ))??
   You are allowed to make Modifications to the Licensed Product, and you can
   create Derivative Works from it. (The term "Derivative Works" is defined in
   the License.)

   (( 4. ))??
   By accepting the Licensed Product under the provisions of this License, you
   agree that any Modifications you make to the Licensed Product and then
   distribute are governed by the provisions of this License. In particular, you
   must make the Source Code of your Modifications available to others.

   (( 5. ))??
   You may use the Licensed Product for any purpose, but the Licensor is not
   providing you any warranty whatsoever, nor is the Licensor accepting any
   liability in the event that the Licensed Product doesn't work properly or
   causes you any injury or damages.

   (( 6. ))??
   If you sublicense the Licensed Product or Derivative Works, you may charge
   fees for warranty or support, or for accepting indemnity or liability
   obligations to your customers. You cannot charge for the Source Code.

   (( 7. ))??
   If you assert any patent claims against the Licensor relating to the Licensed
   Product, or if you breach any terms of the License, your rights to the
   Licensed Product under this License automatically terminate.

You may use this License to distribute your own Derivative Works, in which case
the provisions of this License will apply to your Derivative Works just as they
do to the original Licensed Product.

Alternatively, you may distribute your Derivative Works under any other
OSI-approved Open Source license, or under a proprietary license of your choice.
If you use any license other than this License, however, you must continue to
fulfill the requirements of this License (including the provisions relating to
publishing the Source Code) for those portions of your Derivative Works that
consist of the Licensed Product, including the files containing Modifications.

New versions of this License may be published from time to time. You may choose
to continue to use the license terms in this version of the License or those
from the new version. However, only the Licensor has the right to change the
License terms as they apply to the Licensed Product.

This License relies on precise definitions for certain terms. Those terms are
defined when they are first used, and the definitions are repeated for your
convenience in a Glossary at the end of the License.

License Terms

   (( 1. ))??
   Grant of License From Licensor. Licensor hereby grants you a world-wide,
   royalty-free, non-exclusive license, subject to third party intellectual
   property claims, to do the following:

      (( a. ))??
      Use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute any
      Modifications created by such Contributor or portions thereof, in both
      Source Code or as an executable program, either on an unmodified basis or
      as part of Derivative Works.

      (( b. ))??
      Under claims of patents now or hereafter owned or controlled by
      Contributor, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or
      otherwise dispose of Modifications or portions thereof, but solely to the
      extent that any such claim is necessary to enable you to make, use, sell,
      offer for sale, have made, and/or otherwise dispose of Modifications or
      portions thereof or Derivative Works thereof.

   (( 2. ))??
   Grant of License to Modifications From Contributor. "Modifications" means any
   additions to or deletions from the substance or structure of (i) a file
   containing Licensed Product, or (ii) any new file that contains any part of
   Licensed Product. Hereinafter in this License, the term "Licensed Product"
   shall include all previous Modifications that you receive from any
   Contributor. By application of the provisions in Section 4(a) below, each
   person or entity who created or contributed to the creation of, and
   distributed, a Modification (a "Contributor") hereby grants you a world-wide,
   royalty-free, non-exclusive license, subject to third party intellectual
   property claims, to do the following:

      (( a. ))??
      Use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute any
      Modifications created by such Contributor or portions thereof, in both
      Source Code or as an executable program, either on an unmodified basis or
      as part of Derivative Works.

      (( b. ))??
      Under claims of patents now or hereafter owned or controlled by
      Contributor, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or
      otherwise dispose of Modifications or portions thereof, but solely to the
      extent that any such claim is necessary to enable you to make, use, sell,
      offer for sale, have made, and/or otherwise dispose of Modifications or
      portions thereof or Derivative Works thereof.

   (( 3. ))??
   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 or any Contributor except as
   expressly stated herein. No patent license is granted separate from the
   Licensed Product, for code that you delete from the Licensed Product, or for
   combinations of the Licensed Product with other software or hardware. No
   right is granted to the trademarks of Licensor or any Contributor even if
   such marks are included in the Licensed Product. Nothing in this License
   shall be interpreted to prohibit Licensor from licensing under different
   terms from this License any code that Licensor otherwise would have a right
   to license.

   (( 4. ))??
   Your Obligations Regarding Distribution.

      (( a. ))??
      Application of This License to Your Modifications. As an express condition
      for your use of the Licensed Product, you hereby agree that any
      Modifications that you create or to which you contribute, and which you
      distribute, are governed by the terms of this License including, without
      limitation, Section 2. Any Modifications that you create or to which you
      contribute may be distributed only under the terms of this License or a
      future version of this License released under Section 7. You must include
      a copy of this License with every copy of the Modifications you
      distribute. You agree not to offer or impose any terms on any Source Code
      or executable version of the Licensed Product or Modifications that alter
      or restrict the applicable version of this License or the recipients'
      rights hereunder. However, you may include an additional document offering
      the additional rights described in Section 4(d).

      (( b. ))??
      Availability of Source Code. You must make available, under the terms of
      this License, the Source Code of the Licensed Product and any
      Modifications that you distribute, either on the same media as you
      distribute any executable or other form of the Licensed Product, or via a
      mechanism generally accepted in the software development community for the
      electronic transfer of data (an "Electronic Distribution Mechanism"). The
      Source Code for any version of Licensed Product or Modifications that you
      distribute must remain available for at least twelve (12) months after the
      date it initially became available, or at least six (6) months after a
      subsequent version of said Licensed Product or Modifications has been made
      available. You are responsible for ensuring that the Source Code version
      remains available even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is
      maintained by a third party.

      (( c. ))??
      Intellectual Property Matters.

         (( i. ))??
         Third Party Claims. If you have knowledge that a license to a third
         party's intellectual property right is required to exercise the rights
         granted by this License, you must include a text file with the Source
         Code distribution titled "LEGAL" that describes the claim and the party
         making the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will know whom
         to contact. If you obtain such knowledge after you make any
         Modifications available as described in Section 4(b), you shall
         promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies you make available
         thereafter and shall take other steps (such as notifying appropriate
         mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably calculated to inform those who
         received the Licensed Product from you that new knowledge has been
         obtained.

         (( ii. ))??
         Contributor APIs. If your Modifications include an application
         programming interface ("API") and you have knowledge of patent licenses
         that are reasonably necessary to implement that API, you must also
         include this information in the LEGAL file.

         (( iii. ))??
         Representations. You represent that, except as disclosed pursuant to
         4(c)(i) above, you believe that any Modifications you distribute are
         your original creations and that you have sufficient rights to grant
         the rights conveyed by this License.

      (( d. ))??
      Required Notices. You must duplicate this License in any documentation you
      provide along with the Source Code of any Modifications you create or to
      which you contribute, and which you distribute, wherever you describe
      recipients' rights relating to Licensed Product. You must duplicate the
      notice contained in Exhibit A (the "Notice") in each file of the Source
      Code of any copy you distribute of the Licensed Product. If you created a
      Modification, you may add your name as a Contributor to the Notice. If it
      is not possible to put the Notice in a particular Source Code file due to
      its structure, then you must include such Notice in a location (such as a
      relevant directory file) where a user would be likely to look for such a
      notice. You may choose to offer, and charge a fee for, warranty, support,
      indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Licensed
      Product. However, you may do so only on your own behalf, and not on behalf
      of the Licensor or any Contributor. You must make it clear that any such
      warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is offered by you
      alone, and you hereby agree to indemnify the Licensor and every
      Contributor for any liability incurred by the Licensor or such Contributor
      as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms you offer.

      (( e. ))??
      Distribution of Executable Versions. You may distribute Licensed Product
      as an executable program under a license of your choice that may contain
      terms different from this License provided (i) you have satisfied the
      requirements of Sections 4(a) through 4(d) for that distribution, (ii) you
      include a conspicuous notice in the executable version, related
      documentation and collateral materials stating that the Source Code
      version of the Licensed Product is available under the terms of this
      License, including a description of how and where you have fulfilled the
      obligations of Section 4(b), and (iii) you make it clear that any terms
      that differ from this License are offered by you alone, not by Licensor or
      any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Licensor and every
      Contributor for any liability incurred by Licensor or such Contributor as
      a result of any terms you offer.

      (( f. ))??
      Distribution of Derivative Works. You may create Derivative Works (e.g.,
      combinations of some or all of the Licensed Product with other code) and
      distribute the Derivative Works as products under any other license you
      select, with the proviso that the requirements of this License are
      fulfilled for those portions of the Derivative Works that consist of the
      Licensed Product or any Modifications thereto.

   (( 5. ))??
   Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation. If it is impossible for you
   to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all
   of the Licensed Product due to statute, judicial order, or regulation, then
   you must (i) comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent
   possible, (ii) cite the statute or regulation that prohibits you from
   adhering to the License, and (iii) describe the limitations and the code they
   affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL file described in
   Section 4(d), and must be included with all distributions of the Source Code.
   Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description
   must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill at computer
   programming to be able to understand it.

   (( 6. ))??
   Application of This License. This License applies to code to which Licensor
   or Contributor has attached the Notice in Exhibit A, which is incorporated
   herein by this reference.

   (( 7. ))??
   Versions of This License.

      (( a. ))??
      New Versions. Licensor may publish from time to time revised and/or new
      versions of the License.

      (( b. ))??
      Effect of New Versions. Once Licensed Product has been published under a
      particular version of the License, you may always continue to use it under
      the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such Licensed
      Product under the terms of any subsequent version of the License published
      by Licensor. No one other than Licensor has the right to modify the terms
      applicable to Licensed Product created under this License.

      (( c. ))??
      Derivative Works of this License. If you create or use a modified version
      of this License, which you may do only in order to apply it to software
      that is not already a Licensed Product under this License, you must rename
      your license so that it is not confusingly similar to this License, and
      must make it clear that your license contains terms that differ from this
      License. In so naming your license, you may not use any trademark of
      Licensor or any Contributor.

   (( 8. ))??
   Disclaimer of Warranty. LICENSED PRODUCT IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN
   AS IS BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
   INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE LICENSED PRODUCT IS FREE
   OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE
   ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LICENSED PRODUCT IS WITH
   YOU. SHOULD LICENSED PRODUCT PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (AND NOT THE
   LICENSOR OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY
   SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN
   ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF LICENSED PRODUCT IS AUTHORIZED
   HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.

   (( 9. ))??
   Termination.

      (( a. ))??
      Automatic Termination Upon Breach. This license and the rights granted
      hereunder will terminate automatically if you fail to comply with the
      terms herein and fail to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of
      becoming aware of the breach. All sublicenses to the Licensed Product that
      are properly granted shall survive any termination of this license.
      Provisions that, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the
      termination of this License, shall survive.

      (( b. ))??
      Termination Upon Assertion of Patent Infringement. If you initiate
      litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory
      judgment actions) against Licensor or a Contributor (Licensor or
      Contributor against whom you file such an action is referred to herein as
      Respondent) alleging that Licensed Product directly or indirectly
      infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such Respondent
      to you under Sections 1 or 2 of this License shall terminate prospectively
      upon sixty (60) days notice from Respondent (the "Notice Period") unless
      within that Notice Period you either agree in writing (i) to pay
      Respondent a mutually agreeable reasonably royalty for your past or future
      use of Licensed Product made by such Respondent, or (ii) withdraw your
      litigation claim with respect to Licensed Product against such Respondent.
      If within said Notice Period a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement
      are not mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation
      claim is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Licensor to you under
      Sections 1 and 2 automatically terminate at the expiration of said Notice
      Period.

      (( c. ))??
      Reasonable Value of This License. If you assert a patent infringement
      claim against Respondent alleging that Licensed Product directly or
      indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by
      license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent infringement
      litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses granted by said
      Respondent under Sections 1 and 2 shall be taken into account in
      determining the amount or value of any payment or license.

      (( d. ))??
      No Retroactive Effect of Termination. In the event of termination under
      Sections 9(a) or 9(b) above, all end user license agreements (excluding
      licenses to distributors and resellers) that have been validly granted by
      you or any distributor hereunder prior to termination shall survive
      termination.

   (( 10. ))??
   Limitation of Liability. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY,
   WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL THE
   LICENSOR, ANY CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF LICENSED PRODUCT, OR ANY
   SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT,
   SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING,
   WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER
   FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES,
   EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
   DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH
   OR PERSONAL INJURY

   RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTYS 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.

   (( 11. ))??
   Responsibility for Claims. As between Licensor and Contributors, each party
   is responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of
   its utilization of rights under this License. You agree to work with Licensor
   and Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis.
   Nothing herein is intended or

   shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.

   (( 12. ))??
   U.S. Government End Users. The Licensed Product is a commercial item, as that
   term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of commercial
   computer software and commercial computer software documentation, as such
   terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R.
   12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S.
   Government End Users acquire Licensed Product with only those rights set
   forth herein.

   (( 13. ))??
   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
   to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by California law
   provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise),
   excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. You expressly agree that any
   litigation relating to this license shall be subject to the jurisdiction of
   the Federal Courts of the Northern District of California or the Superior
   Court of the County of Santa Clara, California (as appropriate), with venue
   lying in Santa Clara County, California, with the losing party responsible
   for costs including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys
   fees and expenses. The application of the United Nations Convention on
   Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You and
   Licensor expressly waive any rights to a jury trial in any litigation
   concerning Licensed Product or this License. Any law or regulation that
   provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the
   drafter shall not apply to this License.

   (( 14. ))??
   Definition of You in This License. You throughout this License, whether in
   upper or lower case, means an individual or a legal entity exercising rights
   under, and complying with all of the terms of, this License or a future
   version of this License issued under Section 7. For legal entities, you
   includes any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common
   control with you. For purposes of this definition, control means (i) the
   power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such
   entity, whether by contract or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent
   (50%) or more of the outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of
   such entity.

   (( 15. ))??
