combinations.
-
3.
Distribution Obligations.
-
3.1.
Application of License. The Modifications 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, 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 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 You have knowledge that a party claims an intellectual property right
in particular functionality or code (or its utilization under this License), you 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 you obtain such knowledge after You make Your Modification
available as described in Section 3.2, You shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all
copies You make 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 Your Modification is an application programming interface and You own or
control patents which are reasonably necessary to implement that API, you must also
include this information in the LEGAL file.
-
3.5.
Required Notices. You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source Code, and
this License in any documentation for the Source Code, where You describe recipients'
rights relating to Covered Code. If You created one or more Modification(s), You may add your
name as a Contributor to the notice described in Exhibit A. 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 file) where a user would be likely to look
for such a notice. 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 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 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.
