==Preamble==
(This Preamble is not part of the license.)
EiffelBase is one of the principal contributions of Eiffel: a library of fundamental structures and algorithms covering the basics of computing, and resulting from a "Linnaean" effort at a general-purpose taxonomy of computing structures. We believe that EiffelBase is one of the most carefully designed and extensively used libraries in the object-oriented industry. The library and its design principles are described in detail in the book [http://www.eiffel.com/services/training/books.html ''Reusable Software: The Base Object-Oriented Component Libraries'' ] .

EiffelBase is at the center of Eiffel Software's Eiffel and has been among the major factors attracting users to the technology. In spite of this competitive advantage, Eiffel Software officially announced in June of 1998 that it would release the library to the public in source form, under the terms of the license below. There are two main reasons for this initiative:
* As the software industry seems poised to adopt the idea of reusable components, we feel that EiffelBase provides an ideal basis and are happy to contribute it to the community.
