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 Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 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
Netscape Communications Corporation ("Netscape") 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 Netscape. No one other than Netscape 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 "Mozilla",
"MOZILLAPL", "MOZPL", "Netscape", "MPL",
"NPL" 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 Mozilla Public License and Netscape 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 California 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 the United States of America, any litigation relating to
this License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the
Northern District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County, California,
with the losing party responsible for costs, including without limitation, court costs
and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. The application of the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly
excluded. 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.
