fnOrb OpenSource License

PRELIMINARIES
=============

fnOrb was initially developed by the Cooperative Research Centre for 
Enterprise Distributed Systems. It was licensed free for non-commerical
use, and under various developer and deployment licenses for commercial
use. While a profitable product to the Centre, the development of CORBA
compliant Object Request Brokers was not a core objective for the centre,
and during 2001 the decision was taken to Open Source the product.

The intent of this license is to grant you the same freedoms to use fnOrb 
that you enjoy under the Python 2.2 License (http://www.python.org/2.2/license.html).
