  86. (a) Subject to the terms of this License, the Initial Contributor hereby grants
  87. each Recipient a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive copyright license
  88. to:
  89. (i) reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,
  90. distribute and sublicense the Initial Work; and
  91. (ii) reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, and sublicense
  92. any derivative works (if any) prepared by Recipient;
  93. in Source Code and Executable form, either with other Modifications, on an
  94. unmodified basis, or as part of a Larger Work.
  95. (b) Subject to the terms of this License, each Subsequent Contributor hereby
  96. grants each Recipient a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive copyright
  97. license to:
  98. (i) reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,
  99. distribute and sublicense the Subsequent Work of such Subsequent Contributor;
  100. and
  101. (ii) reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, and sublicense
  102. any derivative works (if any) prepared by Recipient;
  103. in Source Code and Executable form, either with other Modifications, on an
  104. unmodified basis, or as part of a Larger Work.
  105. 2.2. PATENT LICENSE FROM INITIAL AND SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTORS.
  106. (a) This License does not include or grant any patent license whatsoever from
  107. the Initial Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, or any Distributor unless,
  108. at the time the Initial Work is first distributed or made available under
  109. this License (as the case may be), the Initial Contributor has selected pursuant
  110. to Part 6 of Exhibit A the patent terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from
  111. Part 6 of Exhibit A. If this is not done then the Initial Work and any other
  112. Subsequent Work is made available under the License without any patent license
  113. (the "PATENTS-EXCLUDED LICENSE").
  114. (b) However, the Initial Contributor may subsequently distribute or make available
  115. (as the case may be) future copies of: (1) the Initial Work; or (2) any Licensed
  116. Work distributed by the Initial Contributor which includes the Initial Work
  117. (or any portion thereof) and/or any Modification made by the Initial Contributor;
  118. available under a License which includes a patent license (the "PATENTS-INCLUDED
  119. LICENSE") by selecting pursuant to Part 6 of Exhibit A the patent terms in
  120. paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of Exhibit A, when the Initial Contributor
  121. distributes or makes available (as the case may be) such future copies under
  122. this License.
  123. (c) If any Recipient receives or obtains one or more copies of the Initial
  124. Work or any other portion of the Licensed Work under the Patents-Included
  125. License, then all licensing of such copies under this License shall include
  126. the terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of Exhibit A and that
  127. Recipient shall not be able to rely upon the Patents-Excluded License for
  128. any such copies. However, all Recipients that receive one or more copies of
  129. the Initial Work or any other portion of the Licensed Work under a copy of
  130. the License which includes the Patents-Excluded License shall have no patent
  131. license with respect to such copies received under the Patents-Excluded License
  132. and availability and distribution of such copies, including Modifications
  133. made by such Recipient to such copies, shall be under a copy of the License
  134. without any patent license.
  135. (d) Where a Recipient uses in combination or combines any copy of the Licensed
  136. Work (or portion thereof) licensed under a copy of the License having a Patents-Excluded
  137. License with any copy of the Licensed Work (or portion thereof) licensed under
  138. a copy of the License having a Patents-Included License, the combination (and
  139. any portion thereof) shall, from the first time such Recipient uses, makes
  140. available or distributes the combination (as the case may be), be subject
  141. to only the terms of the License having the Patents-Included License which
  142. shall include the terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of Exhibit
  143. A.
  144. 2.3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND DISCLAIMER.
  145. Recipient understands and agrees that although Initial Contributor and each
  146. Subsequent Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth
  147. herein, no representation, warranty, guarantee or assurance is provided by
  148. any Initial Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, or Distributor that the Licensed
  149. Work does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of
  150. any other entity. Initial Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, and each Distributor
  151. disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity
  152. based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise, in relation
  153. to the Licensed Works. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses
  154. granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure
  155. any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, without
  156. limiting the foregoing disclaimers, if a third party patent license is required
  157. to allow Recipient to distribute the Licensed Work, it is Recipient's responsibility
  158. to acquire that license before distributing the Licensed Work.
  159. 2.4. RESERVATION.
  160. Nothing in this License shall be deemed to grant any rights to trademarks,
  161. copyrights, patents, trade secrets or any other intellectual property of Initial
  162. Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, or Distributor except as expressly stated
  163. herein.
  164. 3. DISTRIBUTION OBLIGATIONS.
  165. 3.1. DISTRIBUTION GENERALLY.
  166. (a) A Subsequent Contributor shall make that Subsequent Contributor's Subsequent
  167. Work(s) available to the public via an Electronic Distribution Mechanism for
  168. a period of at least twelve (12) months. The aforesaid twelve (12) month period
  169. shall begin within a reasonable time after the creation of the Subsequent
  170. Work and no later than sixty (60) days after first distribution of that Subsequent
  171. Contributor's Subsequent Work.
  172. (b) All Distributors must distribute the Licensed Work in accordance with
  173. the terms of the License, and must include a copy of this License (including
  174. without limitation Exhibit A and the accompanying Supplement File) with each
  175. copy of the Licensed Work distributed. In particular, this License must be
  176. prominently distributed with the Licensed Work in a file called "license.txt."
  177. In addition, the License Notice in Part 5 of Exhibit A must be included at
  178. the beginning of all Source Code files, and viewable to a user in any executable
  179. such that the License Notice is reasonably brought to the attention of any
  180. party using the Licensed Work.
  181. 3.2. EXECUTABLE DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE LICENSED WORK.
  182. A Distributor may choose to distribute the Licensed Work, or any portion thereof,
  183. in Executable form (an "EXECUTABLE DISTRIBUTION") to any third party, under
  184. the terms of Section 2 of this License, provided the Executable Distribution
  185. is made available under and accompanied by a copy of this License, AND provided
  186. at least ONE of the following conditions is fulfilled:
  187. (a) The Executable Distribution must be accompanied by the Source Code for
  188. the Licensed Work making up the Executable Distribution, and the Source Code
  189. must be distributed on the same media as the Executable Distribution or using
  190. an Electronic Distribution Mechanism; or
  191. (b) The Executable Distribution must be accompanied with a written offer,
  192. valid for at least thirty six (36) months, to give any third party under the
  193. terms of this License, for a charge no more than the cost of physically performing
  194. source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the Source Code for
  195. the Licensed Work making up the Executable Distribution, to be available and
  196. distributed using an Electronic Distribution Mechanism, and such Executable
  197. Distribution must remain available in Source Code form to any third party
  198. via the Electronic Distribution Mechanism (or any replacement Electronic Distribution
  199. Mechanism the particular Distributor may reasonably need to turn to as a substitute)
  200. for said at least thirty six (36) months.
  201. For greater certainty, the above-noted requirements apply to any Licensed
  202. Work or portion thereof distributed to any third party in Executable form,
  203. whether such distribution is made alone, in combination with a Larger Work
  204. or Independent Modules, or in some other combination.
  205. 3.3. SOURCE CODE DISTRIBUTIONS.
  206. When a Distributor makes the Licensed Work, or any portion thereof, available
  207. to any Person in Source Code form, it must be made available under this License
  208. and a copy of this License must be included with each copy of the Source Code,
  209. situated so that the copy of the License is conspicuously brought to the attention
  210. of that Person. For greater clarification, this Section 3.3 applies to all
  211. distribution of the Licensed Work in any Source Code form. A Distributor may
  212. charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, which charge shall
  213. be no more than the cost of physically performing source distribution.
  214. 3.4. REQUIRED NOTICES IN SOURCE CODE.
  215. Each Subsequent Contributor must ensure that the notice set out in Part 5
  216. of Exhibit A is included in each file of the Source Code for each Subsequent
  217. Work originating from that particular Subsequent Contributor, if such notice
  218. is not already included in each such file. If it is not possible to put such
  219. notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then the Subsequent
  220. Contributor must include such notice in a location (such as a relevant directory
  221. in which the file is stored) where a user would be likely to look for such
  222. a notice.
  223. 3.5. NO DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERNALLY USED MODIFICATIONS.
  224. Notwithstanding Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, Recipient may, internally within
  225. its own corporation or organization use the Licensed Work, including the Initial
  226. Work and Subsequent Works, and make Modifications for internal use within
  227. Recipient's own corporation or organization (collectively, "INTERNAL USE MODIFICATIONS").
  228. The Recipient shall have no obligation to distribute, in either Source Code
  229. or Executable form, any such Internal Use Modifications made by Recipient
  230. in the course of such internal use, except where required below in this Section
  231. 3.5. All Internal Use Modifications distributed to any Person, whether or
  232. not a Third Party, shall be distributed pursuant to and be accompanied by
  233. the terms of this License. If the Recipient chooses to distribute any such
  234. Internal Use Modifications to any Third Party, then the Recipient shall be
  235. deemed a Subsequent Contributor, and any such Internal Use Modifications distributed
  236. to any Third Party shall be deemed a Subsequent Work originating from that
  237. Subsequent Contributor, and shall from the first such instance become part
  238. of the Licensed Work that must thereafter be distributed and made available
  239. to third parties in accordance with the terms of Sections 3.1 to 3.4 inclusive.
  240. 3.6. INDEPENDENT MODULES.
  241. This License shall not apply to Independent Modules of any Initial Contributor,
  242. Subsequent Contributor, Distributor or any Recipient, and such Independent
  243. Modules may be licensed or made available under one or more separate license
  244. agreements.
  245. 3.7. LARGER WORKS.
  246. Any Distributor or Recipient may create or contribute to a Larger Work by
  247. combining any of the Licensed Work with other code not governed by the terms
  248. of this License, and may distribute the Larger Work as one or more products.
  249. However, in any such case, Distributor or Recipient (as the case may be) must
  250. make sure that the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Licensed
  251. Work portion of the Larger Work.
  252. 3.8. DESCRIPTION OF DISTRIBUTED MODIFICATIONS.
  253. (a) Each Subsequent Contributor (including the Initial Contributor where the
  254. Initial Contributor also qualifies as a Subsequent Contributor) must cause
  255. each Subsequent Work created or contributed to by that Subsequent Contributor
  256. to contain a file documenting the changes, in accordance with the requirements
  257. of Part 1 of the Supplement File, that such Subsequent Contributor made in
  258. the creation or contribution to that Subsequent Work. If no Supplement File
  259. exists or no requirements are set out in Part 1 of the Supplement File, then
  260. there are no requirements for Subsequent Contributors to document changes
  261. that they make resulting in Subsequent Works.
  262. (b) The Initial Contributor may at any time introduce requirements or add
  263. to or change earlier requirements (in each case, the "EARLIER DESCRIPTION
  264. REQUIREMENTS") for documenting changes resulting in Subsequent Works by revising
  265. Part 1 of each copy of the Supplement File distributed by the Initial Contributor
  266. with future copies of the Licensed Work so that Part 1 then contains new requirements
  267. (the "NEW DESCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS") for documenting such changes.
  268. (c) Any Recipient receiving at any time any copy of an Initial Work or any
  269. Subsequent Work under a copy of this License (in each case, an "Earlier LICENSED
  270. COPY") having the Earlier Description Requirements may choose, with respect
  271. to each such Earlier Licensed Copy, to comply with the Earlier Description
  272. Requirements or the New Description Requirements. Where a Recipient chooses
  273. to comply with the New Description Requirements, that Recipient will, when
  274. thereafter distributing any copies of any such Earlier Licensed Copy, include
  275. a Supplement File having a section entitled Part 1 that contains a copy of
  276. the New Description Requirements.
  277. (d) For greater certainty, the intent of Part 1 of the Supplement File is
  278. to provide a mechanism (if any) by which Subsequent Contributors must document
  279. changes that they make to the Licensed Work resulting in Subsequent Works.
  280. Part 1 of any Supplement File shall not be used to increase or reduce the
  281. scope of the license granted in Article 2 of this License or in any other
  282. way increase or decrease the rights and obligations of any Recipient, and
  283. shall at no time serve as the basis for terminating the License. Further,
  284. a Recipient can be required to correct and change its documentation procedures
  285. to comply with Part 1 of the Supplement File, but cannot be penalised with
  286. damages. Part 1 of any Supplement File is only binding on each Recipient of
  287. any Licensed Work to the extent Part 1 sets out the requirements for documenting
  288. changes to the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work.
  289. (e) An example of a set of requirements for documenting changes and contributions
  290. made by Subsequent Contributor is set out in Part 7 of Exhibit A of this License.
  291. Part 7 is a sample only and is not binding on Recipients, unless (subject
  292. to the earlier paragraphs of this Section 3.8) those are the requirements
  293. that the Initial Contributor includes in Part 1 of the Supplement File with
  294. the copies of the Initial Work distributed under this License.
  295. 3.9. USE OF DISTRIBUTOR NAME.
  296. The name of a Distributor may not be used by any other Distributor to endorse
  297. or promote the Licensed Work or products derived from the Licensed Work, without
  298. prior written permission.
  299. 3.10. LIMITED RECOGNITION OF INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR.
  300. (a) As a modest attribution to the Initial Contributor, in the hope that its
  301. promotional value may help justify the time, money and effort invested in
  302. writing the Initial Work, the Initial Contributor may include in Part 2 of
  303. the Supplement File a requirement that each time an executable program resulting
  304. from the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, or a program dependent thereon,
  305. is launched or run, a prominent display of the Initial Contributor's attribution
  306. information must occur (the "ATTRIBUTION INFORMATION"). The Attribution Information
  307. must be included at the beginning of each Source Code file. For greater certainty,
  308. the Initial Contributor may specify in the Supplement File that the above
  309. attribution requirement only applies to an executable program resulting from
  310. the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, but not a program dependent thereon.
  311. The intent is to provide for reasonably modest attribution, therefore the
  312. Initial Contributor may not require Recipients to display, at any time, more
  313. than the following Attribution Information: (a) a copyright notice including
  314. the name of the Initial Contributor; (b) a word or one phrase (not exceeding
  315. 10 words); (c) one digital image or graphic provided with the Initial Work;
  316. and (d) a URL (collectively, the "ATTRIBUTION LIMITS").
  317. (b) If no Supplement File exists, or no Attribution Information is set out
  318. in Part 2 of the Supplement File, then there are no requirements for Recipients
  319. to display any Attribution Information of the Initial Contributor.
  320. (c) Each Recipient acknowledges that all trademarks, service marks and/or
  321. trade names contained within Part 2 of the Supplement File distributed with
  322. the Licensed Work are the exclusive property of the Initial Contributor and
  323. may only be used with the permission of the Initial Contributor, or under
  324. circumstances otherwise permitted by law, or as expressly set out in this
  325. License.
  326. 3.11. For greater certainty, any description or attribution provisions contained
  327. within a Supplement File may only be used to specify the nature of the description
  328. or attribution requirements, as the case may be. Any provision in a Supplement
  329. File that otherwise purports to modify, vary, nullify or amend any right,
  330. obligation or representation contained herein shall be deemed void to that
  331. extent, and shall be of no force or effect.
  332. 4. COMMERCIAL USE AND INDEMNITY.
  333. 4.1. COMMERCIAL SERVICES.
  334. A Recipient ("COMMERCIAL RECIPIENT") may choose to offer, and to charge a
  335. fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations (collectively,
  336. "SERVICES") to one or more other Recipients or Distributors. However, such
  337. Commercial Recipient may do so only on that Commercial Recipient's own behalf,
  338. and not on behalf of any other Distributor or Recipient, and Commercial Recipient
  339. must make it clear than any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability
  340. obligation(s) is/are offered by Commercial Recipient alone. At no time may
  341. Commercial Recipient use any Services to deny any party the Licensed Work
  342. in Source Code or Executable form when so required under any of the other
  343. terms of this License. For greater certainty, this Section 4.1 does not diminish
  344. any of the other terms of this License, including without limitation the obligation
  345. of the Commercial Recipient as a Distributor, when distributing any of the
  346. Licensed Work in Source Code or Executable form, to make such distribution
  347. royalty-free (subject to the right to charge a fee of no more than the cost
  348. of physically performing Source Code or Executable distribution (as the case
  349. may be)).
  350. 4.2. INDEMNITY.
  351. Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with
  352. respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this License is
  353. intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Licensed Work, the Distributor
  354. who includes any of the Licensed Work in a commercial product offering should
  355. do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Distributors.
  356. Therefore, if a Distributor includes the Licensed Work in a commercial product
  357. offering or offers any Services, such Distributor ("COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTOR")
  358. hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Distributor or Subsequent
  359. Contributor (in each case an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") against any losses, damages
  360. and costs (collectively "LOSSES") arising from claims, lawsuits and other
  361. legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Party to the
  362. extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Distributor in connection
  363. with its distribution of any of the Licensed Work in a commercial product
  364. offering or in connection with any Services. The obligations in this section
  365. do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual
  366. property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Party must: (a)
  367. promptly notify the Commercial Distributor in writing of such claim; and (b)
  368. allow the Commercial Distributor to control, and co-operate with the Commercial
  369. Distributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified
  370. Party may participate in any such claim at its own expense.
  371. 5. VERSIONS OF THE LICENSE.
  372. 5.1. NEW VERSIONS.
  373. The Initial Contributor may publish revised and/or new versions of the License
  374. from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
  375. 5.2. EFFECT OF NEW VERSIONS.
  376. Once the Licensed Work or any portion thereof has been published by Initial
  377. Contributor under a particular version of the License, Recipient may choose
  378. to continue to use it under the terms of that version. However, if a Recipient
  379. chooses to use the Licensed Work under the terms of any subsequent version
  380. of the License published by the Initial Contributor, then from the date of
