The cdf is:

If I hadn't misread your F(t) for t<1, it seems to be a DECREASING
function between 0 and 1.
Did I misread or you mis-typed something?

I'll look at it a bit more, but I think it's okay based on evaluating
at t=0 (a trick required), t=0.5 and t=1 and found
F(0) < F(0.5) < F(1) which is correct for a cdf.
