 229  #
 230  #  A large portion of the dictionary entries
 231  #  originate from ICOT Free Software.  The following conditions for ICOT
 232  #  Free Software applies to the current dictionary as well.
 233  #
 234  #  Each User may also freely distribute the Program, whether in its
 235  #  original form or modified, to any third party or parties, PROVIDED
 236  #  that the provisions of Section 3 ("NO WARRANTY") will ALWAYS appear
 237  #  on, or be attached to, the Program, which is distributed substantially
 238  #  in the same form as set out herein and that such intended
 239  #  distribution, if actually made, will neither violate or otherwise
 240  #  contravene any of the laws and regulations of the countries having
 241  #  jurisdiction over the User or the intended distribution itself.
 242  #
 243  #  NO WARRANTY
 244  #
 245  #  The program was produced on an experimental basis in the course of the
 246  #  research and development conducted during the project and is provided
 247  #  to users as so produced on an experimental basis.  Accordingly, the
 248  #  program is provided without any warranty whatsoever, whether express,
 249  #  implied, statutory or otherwise.  The term "warranty" used herein
 250  #  includes, but is not limited to, any warranty of the quality,
 251  #  performance, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose of
 252  #  the program and the nonexistence of any infringement or violation of
 253  #  any right of any third party.
 254  #
 255  #  Each user of the program will agree and understand, and be deemed to
 256  #  have agreed and understood, that there is no warranty whatsoever for
 257  #  the program and, accordingly, the entire risk arising from or
 258  #  otherwise connected with the program is assumed by the user.
 259  #
 260  #  Therefore, neither ICOT, the copyright holder, or any other
 261  #  organization that participated in or was otherwise related to the
 262  #  development of the program and their respective officials, directors,
 263  #  officers and other employees shall be held liable for any and all
 264  #  damages, including, without limitation, general, special, incidental
 265  #  and consequential damages, arising out of or otherwise in connection
 266  #  with the use or inability to use the program or any product, material
 267  #  or result produced or otherwise obtained by using the program,
 268  #  regardless of whether they have been advised of, or otherwise had
 269  #  knowledge of, the possibility of such damages at any time during the
 270  #  project or thereafter.  Each user will be deemed to have agreed to the
 271  #  foregoing by his or her commencement of use of the program.  The term
 272  #  "use" as used herein includes, but is not limited to, the use,
 273  #  modification, copying and distribution of the program and the
 274  #  production of secondary products from the program.
 275  #
 276  #  In the case where the program, whether in its original form or
 277  #  modified, was distributed or delivered to or received by a user from
 278  #  any person, organization or entity other than ICOT, unless it makes or
 279  #  grants independently of ICOT any specific warranty to the user in
 280  #  writing, such person, organization or entity, will also be exempted
 281  #  from and not be held liable to the user for any such damages as noted
 282  #  above as far as the program is concerned.

 368 5. Time Zone Database
 369 
 370   ICU uses the public domain data and code derived from Time Zone
 371 Database for its time zone support. The ownership of the TZ database
 372 is explained in BCP 175: Procedure for Maintaining the Time Zone
 373 Database section 7.
 374 
 375  # 7.  Database Ownership
 376  #
 377  #    The TZ database itself is not an IETF Contribution or an IETF
 378  #    document.  Rather it is a pre-existing and regularly updated work
 379  #    that is in the public domain, and is intended to remain in the
 380  #    public domain.  Therefore, BCPs 78 [RFC5378] and 79 [RFC3979] do
 381  #    not apply to the TZ Database or contributions that individuals make
 382  #    to it.  Should any claims be made and substantiated against the TZ
 383  #    Database, the organization that is providing the IANA
 384  #    Considerations defined in this RFC, under the memorandum of
 385  #    understanding with the IETF, currently ICANN, may act in accordance
 386  #    with all competent court orders.  No ownership claims will be made
 387  #    by ICANN or the IETF Trust on the database or the code.  Any person
 388  #    making a contribution to the database or code waives all rights to
