48 1.7. "INDEPENDENT MODULE" means a separate module of software and/or data that
49 is not a derivative work of or copied from the Licensed Work or any portion thereof. In
50 addition, a module does not qualify as an Independent Module but instead forms part of
51 the Licensed Work if the module: (a) is embedded in the Licensed Work; (b) is included
52 by reference in the Licensed Work other than by a function call or a class reference; or
53 (c) must be included or contained, in whole or in part, within a file directory or
54 subdirectory actually containing files making up the Licensed Work.

84 associated interface definition files, and scripts used to control compilation and
85 installation of an executable.
87 1.17. "SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTOR" means any Person that makes or contributes

101 Subsequent Work will "originate" from a Subsequent Contributor if the Subsequent Work
102 was a result of efforts by such Subsequent Contributor (or anyone acting on such
103 Subsequent Contributor's behalf, such as, a contractor or other entity that is engaged by
104 or under the direction of the Subsequent Contributor). For greater certainty, a Subsequent
105 Work expressly excludes and shall not capture within its meaning any Independent

118 (a) Subject to the terms of this License, the Initial Contributor hereby grants each
119 Recipient a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive copyright license to:
121 (i) reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute
122 and sublicense the Initial Work; and
124 (ii) reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, and sublicense any
125 derivative works (if any) prepared by Recipient;
127 in Source Code and Executable form, either with other Modifications, on an unmodified
128 basis, or as part of a Larger Work.
130 (b) Subject to the terms of this License, each Subsequent Contributor hereby grants each
131 Recipient a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive copyright license to:
133 (i) reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute
134 and sublicense the Subsequent Work of such Subsequent Contributor; and
136 (ii) reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, and sublicense any
137 derivative works (if any) prepared by Recipient;
139 in Source Code and Executable form, either with other Modifications, on an unmodified
140 basis, or as part of a Larger Work.
142 2.2. PATENT LICENSE FROM INITIAL AND SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTORS.
144 (a) This License does not include or grant any patent license whatsoever from the Initial
145 Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, or any Distributor unless, at the time the Initial
146 Work is first distributed or made available under this License (as the case may be), the
147 Initial Contributor has selected pursuant to Part 6 of Exhibit A the patent terms in
148 paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of Exhibit A. If this is not done then the Initial
149 Work and any other Subsequent Work is made available under the License without any
150 patent license (the "PATENTS-EXCLUDED LICENSE").
152 (b) However, the Initial Contributor may subsequently distribute or make available (as
153 the case may be) future copies of: (1) the Initial Work; or (2) any Licensed Work
154 distributed by the Initial Contributor which includes the Initial Work (or any portion
155 thereof) and/or any Modification made by the Initial Contributor; available under a
156 License which includes a patent license (the "PATENTS-INCLUDED LICENSE") by
157 selecting pursuant to Part 6 of Exhibit A the patent terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E
158 from Part 6 of Exhibit A, when the Initial Contributor distributes or makes available (as
159 the case may be) such future copies under this License.
161 (c) If any Recipient receives or obtains one or more copies of the Initial Work or any
162 other portion of the Licensed Work under the Patents-Included License, then all licensing
163 of such copies under this License shall include the terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E
164 from Part 6 of Exhibit A and that Recipient shall not be able to rely upon the Patents-
165 Excluded License for any such copies. However, all Recipients that receive one or more
166 copies of the Initial Work or any other portion of the Licensed Work under a copy of the
167 License which includes the Patents-Excluded License shall have no patent license with
168 respect to such copies received under the Patents-Excluded License and availability and
169 distribution of such copies, including Modifications made by such Recipient to such
170 copies, shall be under a copy of the License without any patent license.
172 (d) Where a Recipient uses in combination or combines any copy of the Licensed Work
173 (or portion thereof) licensed under a copy of the License having a Patents-Excluded
174 License with any copy of the Licensed Work (or portion thereof) licensed under a copy of
175 the License having a Patents-Included License, the combination (and any portion thereof)
176 shall, from the first time such Recipient uses, makes available or distributes the
177 combination (as the case may be), be subject to only the terms of the License having the
178 Patents-Included License which shall include the terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E
179 from Part 6 of Exhibit A.
181 2.3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND DISCLAIMER.
183 Recipient understands and agrees that although Initial Contributor and each Subsequent
184 Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no representation,
185 warranty, guarantee or assurance is provided by any Initial Contributor, Subsequent
186 Contributor, or Distributor that the Licensed Work does not infringe the patent or other
187 intellectual property rights of any other entity. Initial Contributor, Subsequent
188 Contributor, and each Distributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought
189 by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise, in
190 relation to the Licensed Works. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses
191 granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other
192 intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, without limiting the foregoing
193 disclaimers, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the
194 Licensed Work, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing
199 Nothing in this License shall be deemed to grant any rights to trademarks, copyrights,
200 patents, trade secrets or any other intellectual property of Initial Contributor, Subsequent
201 Contributor, or Distributor except as expressly stated herein.
203 3. DISTRIBUTION OBLIGATIONS.
205 3.1. DISTRIBUTION GENERALLY.
207 (a) A Subsequent Contributor shall make that Subsequent Contributor's Subsequent
208 Work(s) available to the public via an Electronic Distribution Mechanism for a period of
209 at least twelve (12) months. The aforesaid twelve (12) month period shall begin within a
210 reasonable time after the creation of the Subsequent Work and no later than sixty (60)
211 days after first distribution of that Subsequent Contributor's Subsequent Work.
213 (b) All Distributors must distribute the Licensed Work in accordance with the terms of
214 the License, and must include a copy of this License (including without limitation Exhibit
215 A and the accompanying Supplement File) with each copy of the Licensed Work
216 distributed. In particular, this License must be prominently distributed with the Licensed
217 Work in a file called "license.txt." In addition, the License Notice in Part 5 of Exhibit A
218 must be included at the beginning of all Source Code files, and viewable to a user in any
219 executable such that the License Notice is reasonably brought to the attention of any
220 party using the Licensed Work.
222 3.2. EXECUTABLE DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE LICENSED WORK.
224 A Distributor may choose to distribute the Licensed Work, or any portion thereof, in
225 Executable form (an "EXECUTABLE DISTRIBUTION") to any third party, under the
226 terms of Section 2 of this License, provided the Executable Distribution is made available
227 under and accompanied by a copy of this License, AND provided at least ONE of the
228 following conditions is fulfilled:
230 (a) The Executable Distribution must be accompanied by the Source Code for the
231 Licensed Work making up the Executable Distribution, and the Source Code must be
232 distributed on the same media as the Executable Distribution or using an Electronic
233 Distribution Mechanism; or
235 (b) The Executable Distribution must be accompanied with a written offer, valid for at
236 least thirty six (36) months, to give any third party under the terms of this License, for a
237 charge no more than the cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
238 machine-readable copy of the Source Code for the Licensed Work making up the
239 Executable Distribution, to be available and distributed using an Electronic Distribution
240 Mechanism, and such Executable Distribution must remain available in Source Code
241 form to any third party via the Electronic Distribution Mechanism (or any replacement
242 Electronic Distribution Mechanism the particular Distributor may reasonably need to turn
243 to as a substitute) for said at least thirty six (36) months.
245 For greater certainty, the above-noted requirements apply to any Licensed Work or
246 portion thereof distributed to any third party in Executable form, whether such
247 distribution is made alone, in combination with a Larger Work or Independent Modules,
248 or in some other combination.
250 3.3. SOURCE CODE DISTRIBUTIONS.
252 When a Distributor makes the Licensed Work, or any portion thereof, available to any
253 Person in Source Code form, it must be made available under this License and a copy of
254 this License must be included with each copy of the Source Code, situated so that the
255 copy of the License is conspicuously brought to the attention of that Person. For greater
256 clarification, this Section 3.3 applies to all distribution of the Licensed Work in any
257 Source Code form. A Distributor may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
258 copy, which charge shall be no more than the cost of physically performing source
261 3.4. REQUIRED NOTICES IN SOURCE CODE.
263 Each Subsequent Contributor must ensure that the notice set out in Part 5 of Exhibit A is
264 included in each file of the Source Code for each Subsequent Work originating from that
265 particular Subsequent Contributor, if such notice is not already included in each such file.
266 If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure,
267 then the Subsequent Contributor must include such notice in a location (such as a relevant
268 directory in which the file is stored) where a user would be likely to look for such a
271 3.5. NO DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERNALLY USED
274 Notwithstanding Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, Recipient may, internally within its own
275 corporation or organization use the Licensed Work, including the Initial Work and
276 Subsequent Works, and make Modifications for internal use within Recipient's own
277 corporation or organization (collectively, "INTERNAL USE MODIFICATIONS"). The
278 Recipient shall have no obligation to distribute, in either Source Code or Executable
279 form, any such Internal Use Modifications made by Recipient in the course of such
280 internal use, except where required below in this Section 3.5. All Internal Use
281 Modifications distributed to any Person, whether or not a Third Party, shall be distributed
282 pursuant to and be accompanied by the terms of this License. If the Recipient chooses to
283 distribute any such Internal Use Modifications to any Third Party, then the Recipient
284 shall be deemed a Subsequent Contributor, and any such Internal Use Modifications
285 distributed to any Third Party shall be deemed a Subsequent Work originating from that
286 Subsequent Contributor, and shall from the first such instance become part of the
287 Licensed Work that must thereafter be distributed and made available to third parties in
288 accordance with the terms of Sections 3.1 to 3.4 inclusive.
290 3.6. INDEPENDENT MODULES.
292 This License shall not apply to Independent Modules of any Initial Contributor,
293 Subsequent Contributor, Distributor or any Recipient, and such Independent Modules
294 may be licensed or made available under one or more separate license agreements.
298 Any Distributor or Recipient may create or contribute to a Larger Work by combining
299 any of the Licensed Work with other code not governed by the terms of this License, and
300 may distribute the Larger Work as one or more products. However, in any such case,
301 Distributor or Recipient (as the case may be) must make sure that the requirements of this
302 License are fulfilled for the Licensed Work portion of the Larger Work.
304 3.8. DESCRIPTION OF DISTRIBUTED MODIFICATIONS.
306 (a) Each Subsequent Contributor (including the Initial Contributor where the Initial
307 Contributor also qualifies as a Subsequent Contributor) must cause each Subsequent
308 Work created or contributed to by that Subsequent Contributor to contain a file
309 documenting the changes, in accordance with the requirements of Part 1 of the
310 Supplement File, that such Subsequent Contributor made in the creation or contribution
311 to that Subsequent Work. If no Supplement File exists or no requirements are set out in
312 Part 1 of the Supplement File, then there are no requirements for Subsequent Contributors
313 to document changes that they make resulting in Subsequent Works.
315 (b) The Initial Contributor may at any time introduce requirements or add to or change
316 earlier requirements (in each case, the "EARLIER DESCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS")
317 for documenting changes resulting in Subsequent Works by revising Part 1 of each copy
318 of the Supplement File distributed by the Initial Contributor with future copies of the
319 Licensed Work so that Part 1 then contains new requirements (the "NEW
320 DESCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS") for documenting such changes.
322 (c) Any Recipient receiving at any time any copy of an Initial Work or any Subsequent
323 Work under a copy of this License (in each case, an "Earlier LICENSED COPY") having
324 the Earlier Description Requirements may choose, with respect to each such Earlier
325 Licensed Copy, to comply with the Earlier Description Requirements or the New
326 Description Requirements. Where a Recipient chooses to comply with the New
327 Description Requirements, that Recipient will, when thereafter distributing any copies of
328 any such Earlier Licensed Copy, include a Supplement File having a section entitled Part
329 1 that contains a copy of the New Description Requirements.
331 (d) For greater certainty, the intent of Part 1 of the Supplement File is to provide a
332 mechanism (if any) by which Subsequent Contributors must document changes that they
333 make to the Licensed Work resulting in Subsequent Works. Part 1 of any Supplement
334 File shall not be used to increase or reduce the scope of the license granted in Article 2 of
335 this License or in any other way increase or decrease the rights and obligations of any
336 Recipient, and shall at no time serve as the basis for terminating the License. Further, a
337 Recipient can be required to correct and change its documentation procedures to comply
338 with Part 1 of the Supplement File, but cannot be penalised with damages. Part 1 of any
339 Supplement File is only binding on each Recipient of any Licensed Work to the extent
340 Part 1 sets out the requirements for documenting changes to the Initial Work or any
343 (e) An example of a set of requirements for documenting changes and contributions
344 made by Subsequent Contributor is set out in Part 7 of Exhibit A of this License. Part 7 is
345 a sample only and is not binding on Recipients, unless (subject to the earlier paragraphs
346 of this Section 3.8) those are the requirements that the Initial Contributor includes in Part
347 1 of the Supplement File with the copies of the Initial Work distributed under this
350 3.9. USE OF DISTRIBUTOR NAME.
352 The name of a Distributor may not be used by any other Distributor to endorse or
353 promote the Licensed Work or products derived from the Licensed Work, without prior
356 3.10. LIMITED RECOGNITION OF INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR.
358 (a) As a modest attribution to the Initial Contributor, in the hope that its promotional
359 value may help justify the time, money and effort invested in writing the Initial Work, the
360 Initial Contributor may include in Part 2 of the Supplement File a requirement that each
361 time an executable program resulting from the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, or a
362 program dependent thereon, is launched or run, a prominent display of the Initial
363 Contributor's attribution information must occur (the "ATTRIBUTION
364 INFORMATION"). The Attribution Information must be included at the beginning of
365 each Source Code file. For greater certainty, the Initial Contributor may specify in the
366 Supplement File that the above attribution requirement only applies to an executable
367 program resulting from the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, but not a program
368 dependent thereon. The intent is to provide for reasonably modest attribution, therefore
369 the Initial Contributor may not require Recipients to display, at any time, more than the
370 following Attribution Information: (a) a copyright notice including the name of the Initial
371 Contributor; (b) a word or one phrase (not exceeding 10 words); (c) one digital image or
372 graphic provided with the Initial Work; and (d) a URL (collectively, the
373 "ATTRIBUTION LIMITS").
375 (b) If no Supplement File exists, or no Attribution Information is set out in Part 2 of the
376 Supplement File, then there are no requirements for Recipients to display any Attribution
377 Information of the Initial Contributor.
379 (c) Each Recipient acknowledges that all trademarks, service marks and/or trade names
380 contained within Part 2 of the Supplement File distributed with the Licensed Work are
381 the exclusive property of the Initial Contributor and may only be used with the
382 permission of the Initial Contributor, or under circumstances otherwise permitted by law,
383 or as expressly set out in this License.
385 3.11. For greater certainty, any description or attribution provisions contained within a
386 Supplement File may only be used to specify the nature of the description or attribution
387 requirements, as the case may be. Any provision in a Supplement File that otherwise
388 purports to modify, vary, nullify or amend any right, obligation or representation
389 contained herein shall be deemed void to that extent, and shall be of no force or effect.
391 4. COMMERCIAL USE AND INDEMNITY.
393 4.1. COMMERCIAL SERVICES.
395 A Recipient ("COMMERCIAL RECIPIENT") may choose to offer, and to charge a fee
396 for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations (collectively, "SERVICES") to
397 one or more other Recipients or Distributors. However, such Commercial Recipient may
398 do so only on that Commercial Recipient's own behalf, and not on behalf of any other
399 Distributor or Recipient, and Commercial Recipient must make it clear than any such
400 warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation(s) is/are offered by Commercial
401 Recipient alone. At no time may Commercial Recipient use any Services to deny any
402 party the Licensed Work in Source Code or Executable form when so required under any
403 of the other terms of this License. For greater certainty, this Section 4.1 does not diminish
404 any of the other terms of this License, including without limitation the obligation of the
405 Commercial Recipient as a Distributor, when distributing any of the Licensed Work in
406 Source Code or Executable form, to make such distribution royalty-free (subject to the
407 right to charge a fee of no more than the cost of physically performing Source Code or
408 Executable distribution (as the case may be)).
412 Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to
413 end users, business partners and the like. While this License is intended to facilitate the
414 commercial use of the Licensed Work, the Distributor who includes any of the Licensed
415 Work in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create
416 potential liability for other Distributors. Therefore, if a Distributor includes the Licensed
417 Work in a commercial product offering or offers any Services, such Distributor
418 ("COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTOR") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other
419 Distributor or Subsequent Contributor (in each case an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY")
420 against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "LOSSES") arising from claims,
421 lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Party to
422 the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Distributor in connection
423 with its distribution of any of the Licensed Work in a commercial product offering or in
424 connection with any Services. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims
425 or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to
426 qualify, an Indemnified Party must: (a) promptly notify the Commercial Distributor in
427 writing of such claim; and (b) allow the Commercial Distributor to control, and co-
428 operate with the Commercial Distributor in, the defense and any related settlement
429 negotiations. The Indemnified Party may participate in any such claim at its own
432 5. VERSIONS OF THE LICENSE.
436 The Initial Contributor may publish revised and/or new versions of the License from
437 time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
439 5.2. EFFECT OF NEW VERSIONS.
441 Once the Licensed Work or any portion thereof has been published by Initial Contributor
442 under a particular version of the License, Recipient may choose to continue to use it
443 under the terms of that version. However, if a Recipient chooses to use the Licensed
444 Work under the terms of any subsequent version of the License published by the Initial
445 Contributor, then from the date of making this choice, the Recipient must comply with
446 the terms of that subsequent version with respect to all further reproduction, preparation
447 of derivative works, public display of, public performance of, distribution and
448 sublicensing by the Recipient in connection with the Licensed Work. No one other than
449 the Initial Contributor has the right to modify the terms applicable to the Licensed Work
451 6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
453 6.1. GENERAL DISCLAIMER.
455 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LICENSE, THE LICENSED WORK
456 IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT ANY
457 REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, GUARANTEE, ASSURANCE OR CONDITION
458 OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
459 LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-
460 INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
461 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF
462 THE LICENSED WORK IS WITH RECIPIENT. SHOULD ANY LICENSED WORK
463 PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, RECIPIENT (NOT THE INITIAL
464 CONTRIBUTOR OR ANY SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUMES THE COST
465 OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS CLAUSE
466 CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY
467 LICENSED WORK IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS
468 LICENSE INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THIS DISCLAIMER.
470 6.2. RESPONSIBILITY OF RECIPIENTS.
472 Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and
473 distributing the Licensed Work and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights
474 under this License, including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors,
475 compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and
476 unavailability or interruption of operations.
480 7.1. This License shall continue until terminated in accordance with the express terms
483 7.2. Recipient may choose to terminate this License automatically at any time.
485 7.3. This License, including without limitation the rights granted hereunder to a
486 particular Recipient, will terminate automatically if such Recipient is in material breach
487 of any of the terms of this License and fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days of
488 becoming aware of the breach. Without limiting the foregoing, any material breach by
489 such Recipient of any term of any other License under which such Recipient is granted
490 any rights to the Licensed Work shall constitute a material breach of this License.
492 7.4. Upon termination of this License by or with respect to a particular Recipient for any
493 reason, all rights granted hereunder and under any other License to that Recipient shall
494 terminate. However, all sublicenses to the Licensed Work which were previously
495 properly granted by such Recipient under a copy of this License (in each case, an "Other
496 License" and in plural, "Other Licenses") shall survive any such termination of this
497 License, including without limitation the rights and obligations under such Other
498 Licenses as set out in their respective Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, mutatis mutandis, for
499 so long as the respective sublicensees (i.e. other Recipients) remain in compliance with
500 the terms of the copy of this License under which such sublicensees received rights to the
501 Licensed Work. Any termination of such Other Licenses shall be pursuant to their
502 respective Section 7, mutatis mutandis. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in
503 effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
505 7.5. Upon any termination of this License by or with respect to a particular Recipient,
506 Sections 4.1, 4.2, 6.1, 6.2, 7.4, 7.5, 8.1, and 8.2, together with all provisions of this
507 License necessary for the interpretation and enforcement of same, shall expressly survive
510 8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
512 8.1. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY OF INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR, ITS
513 SUBSIDIARIES, OR AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE
514 OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND/OR AGENTS (AS THE CASE MAY
515 BE), HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES, INDIRECT

797 Supplemental Text file for Open Fingerprint Architecture library (LIBOFA) distributed
798 under Adaptive Public License 1.0
800 Per Section 3.10, LIMITED RECOGNITION OF INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR
802 (a) As a modest attribution to the Initial Contributor, in the hope that its promotional
803 value may help justify the time, money and effort invested in writing the Initial Work, the
804 Initial Contributor may include in Part 2 of the Supplement File a requirement that each
805 time an executable program resulting from the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, or a
806 program dependent thereon, is launched or run, a prominent display of the Initial
807 Contributor's attribution information must occur (the "ATTRIBUTION
808 INFORMATION"). The Attribution Information must be included at the beginning of
809 each Source Code file. For greater certainty, the Initial Contributor may specify in the
810 Supplement File that the above attribution requirement only applies to an executable
811 program resulting from the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, but not a program
812 dependent thereon. The intent is to provide for reasonably modest attribution, therefore
813 the Initial Contributor may not require Recipients to display, at any time, more than the
814 following Attribution Information: (a) a copyright notice including the name of the Initial
815 Contributor; (b) a word or one phrase (not exceeding 10 words); (c) one digital image or
816 graphic provided with the Initial Work; and (d) a URL (collectively, the
817 "ATTRIBUTION LIMITS").
819 The attribution requested by MusicIP for this source code is:
820 (c) a digital imageconnected_by_musicip.gif or connected_by_musicip.png included
821 with this source code, also available from
822 http://www.musicip.com/connected_by_musicip.gif or
823 http://www.musicip.com/connected_by_musicip.png
825 (d) a URL. The image should be hyperlinked to http://www.musicip.com/
827 MusicIP requests that the image be legibly presented against a contrasting (light)
828 background color such as white or light grey.
