+Corporation":
+
+a) Paragraphs 6.2 and 6.3 of the MPL has been modified to bind licence
+modifications to the Author of this Licence, Thomas Richter.
+
+b) Paragraph 11 has been modified to gover this Licence by German
+law rather than Californian Law.
+
+c) The licence has been renamed to "TPL" and "THOR Public
+Licence". All references towards "MPL" have been removed except in
+section 0 to indicate the difference from "MPL".
+
+No other modifications have been made.
+
+

+prior Modifications used by a Contributor, and the Modifications made
+by that particular Contributor.
+
+1.3. "Covered Code" means the Original Code or Modifications or the
+combination of the Original Code and Modifications, in each case

+claims, each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
+non-exclusive license
+
+(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or

+display, perform, sublicense and distribute the Modifications created
+by such Contributor (or portions thereof) either on an unmodified
+basis, with other Modifications, as Covered Code and/or as part of a
+Larger Work; and

+Covered Code in the absence of Modifications made by that Contributor.
+
+
+3. Distribution Obligations.
+
+3.1. Application of License. The Modifications which You create or to
+which You contribute are governed by the terms of this License,
+including without limitation Section 2.2. The Source Code version of
+Covered Code may be distributed only under the terms of this License
+or a future version of this License released under Section 6.1, and
+You must include a copy of this License with every copy of the Source
+Code You distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any
+Source Code version that alters or restricts the applicable version of
+this License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may
+include an additional document offering the additional rights
+described in Section 3.5.
+
+3.2. Availability of Source Code. Any Modification which You create
+or to which You contribute must be made available in Source Code form
+under the terms of this License either on the same media as an
+Executable version or via an accepted Electronic Distribution
+Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an Executable version available;
+and if made available via Electronic Distribution Mechanism, must
+remain available for at least twelve (12) months after the date it
+initially became available, or at least six (6) months after a
+subsequent version of that particular Modification has been made
+available to such recipients. You are responsible for ensuring that
+the Source Code version remains available even if the Electronic
+Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party.
+
+3.3. Description of Modifications. You must cause all Covered Code to
+which You contribute to contain a file documenting the changes You
+made to create that Covered Code and the date of any change. You must
+include a prominent statement that the Modification is derived,
+directly or indirectly, from Original Code provided by the Initial
+Developer and including the name of the Initial Developer in (a) the
+Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an Executable version or related
+documentation in which You describe the origin or ownership of the
+Covered Code.
+
+3.4. Intellectual Property Matters (a) Third Party Claims. If
+Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party's
+intellectual property rights is required to exercise the rights
+granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor
+must include a text file with the Source Code distribution titled
+"LEGAL" which describes the claim and the party making the claim in
+sufficient detail that a recipient will know whom to contact. If
+Contributor obtains such knowledge after the Modification is made
+available as described in Section 3.2, Contributor shall promptly
+modify the LEGAL file in all copies Contributor makes available
+thereafter and shall take other steps (such as notifying appropriate
+mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably calculated to inform those who
+received the Covered Code that new knowledge has been obtained.
+
+(b) Contributor APIs. If Contributor's Modifications include an
+application programming interface and Contributor has knowledge of
+patent licenses which are reasonably necessary to implement that API,
+Contributor must also include this information in the LEGAL file.
+
+(c) Representations. Contributor represents that, except as disclosed
+pursuant to Section 3.4(a) above, Contributor believes that
+Contributor's Modifications are Contributor's original creation(s)
+and/or Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed
+by this License.
+
+
+3.5. Required Notices. You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in
+each file of the Source Code. If it is not possible to put such
+notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then You
+must include such notice in a location (such as a relevant directory)
+where a user would be likely to look for such a notice. If You
+created one or more Modification(s) You may add your name as a
+Contributor to the notice described in Exhibit A. You must also
+duplicate this License in any documentation for the Source Code where
+You describe recipients' rights or ownership rights relating to
+Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for,
+warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more
+recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own
+behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any
+Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear than any such warranty,
+support, indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone,
+and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every
+Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or
+such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or
+liability terms You offer.
+
+3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions. You may distribute Covered
+Code in Executable form only if the requirements of Section 3.1-3.5
+have been met for that Covered Code, and if You include a notice
+stating that the Source Code version of the Covered Code is available
+under the terms of this License, including a description of how and
+where You have fulfilled the obligations of Section 3.2. The notice
+must be conspicuously included in any notice in an Executable version,
+related documentation or collateral in which You describe recipients'
+rights relating to the Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable
+version of Covered Code or ownership rights under a license of Your
+choice, which may contain terms different from this License, provided
+that You are in compliance with the terms of this License and that the
+license for the Executable version does not attempt to limit or alter
+the recipient's rights in the Source Code version from the rights set
+forth in this License. If You distribute the Executable version under
+a different license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms
+which differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by the
+Initial Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify
+the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred
+by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such
+terms You offer.
+
+3.7. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered
+Code with other code not governed by the terms of this License and
+distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You
+must make sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the
+Covered Code.
+
+4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
+
+If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
+License with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to
+statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
+the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
+describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description
+must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section 3.4 and must
+be included with all distributions of the Source Code. Except to the
+extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be
+sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to
+understand it.
+
+5. Application of this License.
+
+This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has
+attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code.
+
+6. Versions of the License.
+
+6.1. New Versions. Thomas Richter may publish revised and/or new
+versions of the License from time to time. Each version will be given
+a distinguishing version number.
+
+6.2. Effect of New Versions. Once Covered Code has been published
+under a particular version of the License, You may always continue to
+use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use
+such Covered Code under the terms of any subsequent version of the
+License published by Thomas Richter. No one other than Thomas Richter
+has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created
+under this License.
+
+6.3. Derivative Works. If You create or use a modified version of
+this License (which you may only do in order to apply it to code which
+is not already Covered Code governed by this License), You must (a)
+rename Your license so that the phrases "TPL", "THOR Software",
+"Thomas Richter" or any confusingly similar phrase do not appear in
+your license (except to note that your license differs from this
+License) and (b) otherwise make it clear that Your version of the
+license contains terms which differ from the THOR Public
+License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer, Original Code
+or Contributor in the notice described in Exhibit A shall not of
+themselves be deemed to be modifications of this License.)
+
+7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
+
+COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS,
+WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
+WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF
+DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
+NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF
+THE COVERED CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE
+IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER
+CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
+CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART
+OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER
+EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
+
+8. TERMINATION.
+
+8.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
+automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure
+such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All
+sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall
+survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their
+nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License
+shall survive.
+
+8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement
+claim (excluding declatory judgment actions) against Initial Developer
+or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom
+You file such action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that:
+
+(a) such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly
+infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such
+Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License
+shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively,
+unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You either: (i) agree
+in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable royalty
+for Your past and future use of Modifications made by such
+Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to
+the Contributor Version against such Participant. If within 60 days
+of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not
+mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim
+is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You under
+Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the expiration of
+the 60 day notice period specified above.
+
+(b) any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's
+Contributor Version, directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then
+any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b)
+and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You first made, used,
+sold, distributed, or had made, Modifications made by that
+Participant.
+
+8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant
+alleging that such Participant's Contributor Version directly or
+indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as
+by license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent
+infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses
+granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken
+into account in determining the amount or value of any payment or
+license.
+
+8.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, all
+end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers)
+which have been validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder
+prior to termination shall survive termination.
+
+9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
+
+UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
+(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL
+DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE,
+OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR
+ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY
+CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL,
+WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER
+COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN
+INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF
+LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY
+RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW
+PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
+EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO
+THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
+
+10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
+
+The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48
+C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software"
+and "commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are
+used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48
+C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995),
+all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those
+rights set forth herein.
+
+11. MISCELLANEOUS.
+
+This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
+matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
+unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
+necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by
+German law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if any,
+provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. With
+respect to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen of, or an
+entity chartered or registered to do business in Federal Republic of
+Germany, any litigation relating to this License shall be subject to
+the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Federal Republic of
+Germany, with the losing party responsible for costs, including
+without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and
+expenses. Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a
+contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to
+this License.
+
+12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
+
+As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is
+responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly,
+out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to
+work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such
+responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or
+shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.
+
+13. MULTIPLE-LICENSED CODE.
+
+Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as
+Multiple-Licensed. Multiple-Licensed means that the Initial Developer
+permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under Your choice
+of the TPL or the alternative licenses, if any, specified by the
+Initial Developer in the file described in Exhibit A.
+
