notice and any other proprietary legends that were on the original

    (ii) if the Software is supplied to any unit or agency of
the United States Government other than the DoD, the Government═s

18-52.227-86(d) of the NASA Supplement to the FAR.

6. Disclaimer of Warranty on Software.  You expressly acknowledge
and agree that use of the Software is at your sole risk.  The

REPRESENTATIVE) ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.  SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION
OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
United States and the State of Washington, as applied to
agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within
Washington between Washington residents.  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 shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible
so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of
this License shall continue in full force and effect.

9. Complete Agreement.  This License constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the use of the
