Technology License for Research and Education Purposes
------------------------------------------------------

Washington University ("University") in St. Louis has 
developed and is the owner of the copyright for 
Field-programmable Port Extender (FPX) ("Technology") 
which includes switch and network interface hardware, 
associated software, documentation and detailed 
specifications, including source code, VHDL specifications 
of integrated circuits and printed circuit board schematics 
and which is distributed as part of an open research platform 
to universities and research organizations.

University grants to select not-for-profit educational 
institution ("Licensee") which agree to these terms the
right to use its Technology solely for Licensee's internal 
nonprofit research and academic purposes.  This License is 
nontransferrable, royalty free, and non-exclusive.

Licensee agrees that it will not use Technology as part of
any commercial product. Licensee agrees that it will not 
rewrite any part of Technology in an alternate form to 
circumvent the requirement for obtaining a license 
from University for uses other than internal 
research and education.  

Licensee may reproduce Technology only for educational, 
research, backup or archival purposes.  Licensee agrees 
not to remove or destroy notices identifying material 
as the copyrighted or patented property of University.  
Licensee further agrees to include such notices in all 
copies it makes of the material.

UNIVERSITY GIVES NO WARRANTIES AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, 
EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, FOR THE DESIGNS AND/OR DOCUMENTATION 
PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, 
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND/OR WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A 
PARTICULAR USE AND/OR WARRANTY OF FREEDOM OF INFRINGEMENT 
FROM THIRD PARTY PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.  

Licensee understands that Technology is a research tool 
for which no warranties as to capabilities or accuracy 
are made, and Licensee accepts Technology "as is."  University 
makes no warranties that Technology is free from any harmful code.  

Licensee assumes the entire risk as to the performance of 
Technology and/or associated materials, and to the 
performance and validity of information generated using 
Technology.  Licensee agrees that University shall not be 
held liable for any direct, indirect, consequential or 
incidental damages with respect to any claim by Licensee or 
any third party on account of or arising from this Agreement 
or the use of Technology and/or associated materials.

Licensee agrees to accept Technology on an "as is" basis.  
Accordingly, University is not required to load Technology 
onto Licensee's computers, to test for proper operation, 
to perform any debugging or other corrections, or otherwise 
maintain Technology at any time.  University is not 
required to provide any updates to Technology if subsequent 
versions are developed, or to provide any assistance in 
understanding or using these materials.

Title to Technology (including copyright), including the original 
and any copies of Technology which are made hereunder, in 
whole or in part, shall remain at all times with University.  
Licensee may not sublicense, sell, assign, or otherwise transfer 
or allow the transfer of Technology or any portion thereof.  
Licensee may not reproduce Technology or any portion thereof, 
except as permitted in Article 2.
