<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>Dear BIPL Discussion Group,<br>
In mid-July we had a fairly extensive discussion as to why the submitted BIPL
license failed the OSI criteria. We focused on the lack of a patent
license from the original creator of the software, namely MIT. Everyone
was very helpful in suggesting language within the context of MIT's
concerns. We have discussed the matter here and I want to suggest a form
of patent grant that MIT is comfortable with. If this language would be
acceptable to OSI (or at least the concept), then MIT can go through its own
procedure for approval of a grant of this scope. I appreciate in advance
your comments on this language. This language would replace the current
2.1 in the attached license agreement. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

intellectual property claims, the Initial Developer hereby grants You, as of
the Effective Date, a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>(b) under Patent Claims Licensable by Initial

Original Code (or portions thereof) with or without Modifications, and/or as
part of a Larger Work. The license granted in this subsection shall be
limited and superseded from time to time by any exclusive licenses in such
Patent Claims granted by Initial Developer to third parties after the date of
this license grant to You. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Initial
Contributor shall not exclusively license the Patent Claims for the express
purpose of pursuing Contributors to, distributors of, or users of the Covered
Code." <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
