  32 independent module, the terms and conditions of the license of that

  43 The Distributed Garbage Collector (DGC). The DGC is reponsible for keeping all
  44 locally created and exported remote objects as long as they are referenced
  45 by some remote clients. The client must periodically notify the server that
  46 it still wants to keep the remote object on the server side. The client
  47 notifies the server by calling methods, defined in the DGC interface.
  48 Other classes in this package define the parameters that are used in this
  49 interface. The DGC object of some host can be found and accessed by its
  50 object identifier (ObjID.DGC_ID), without involving the name service.
