- to:
-
- (i) reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,
- distribute and sublicense the Initial Work; and
-
- (ii) reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, and sublicense
- any derivative works (if any) prepared by Recipient;
-
- in Source Code and Executable form, either with other Modifications, on an
- unmodified basis, or as part of a Larger Work.
-

- license to:
-
- (i) reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,

- any derivative works (if any) prepared by Recipient;
-
- in Source Code and Executable form, either with other Modifications, on an
- unmodified basis, or as part of a Larger Work.
-
- 2.2. PATENT LICENSE FROM INITIAL AND SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTORS.
-
- (a) This License does not include or grant any patent license whatsoever from
- the Initial Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, or any Distributor unless,
- at the time the Initial Work is first distributed or made available under
- this License (as the case may be), the Initial Contributor has selected pursuant
- to Part 6 of Exhibit A the patent terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from
- Part 6 of Exhibit A. If this is not done then the Initial Work and any other
- Subsequent Work is made available under the License without any patent license
- (the "PATENTS-EXCLUDED LICENSE").
-
- (b) However, the Initial Contributor may subsequently distribute or make available
- (as the case may be) future copies of: (1) the Initial Work; or (2) any Licensed
- Work distributed by the Initial Contributor which includes the Initial Work
- (or any portion thereof) and/or any Modification made by the Initial Contributor;
- available under a License which includes a patent license (the "PATENTS-INCLUDED
- LICENSE") by selecting pursuant to Part 6 of Exhibit A the patent terms in
- paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of Exhibit A, when the Initial Contributor
- distributes or makes available (as the case may be) such future copies under
- this License.
-
- (c) If any Recipient receives or obtains one or more copies of the Initial
- Work or any other portion of the Licensed Work under the Patents-Included
- License, then all licensing of such copies under this License shall include
- the terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of Exhibit A and that
- Recipient shall not be able to rely upon the Patents-Excluded License for
- any such copies. However, all Recipients that receive one or more copies of
- the Initial Work or any other portion of the Licensed Work under a copy of
- the License which includes the Patents-Excluded License shall have no patent
- license with respect to such copies received under the Patents-Excluded License
- and availability and distribution of such copies, including Modifications
- made by such Recipient to such copies, shall be under a copy of the License
- without any patent license.
-
- (d) Where a Recipient uses in combination or combines any copy of the Licensed
- Work (or portion thereof) licensed under a copy of the License having a Patents-Excluded
- License with any copy of the Licensed Work (or portion thereof) licensed under

- any portion thereof) shall, from the first time such Recipient uses, makes
- available or distributes the combination (as the case may be), be subject
- to only the terms of the License having the Patents-Included License which
- shall include the terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of Exhibit
- A.
-
- 2.3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND DISCLAIMER.
-
- Recipient understands and agrees that although Initial Contributor and each
- Subsequent Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth
- herein, no representation, warranty, guarantee or assurance is provided by
- any Initial Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, or Distributor that the Licensed
- Work does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of
- any other entity. Initial Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, and each Distributor
- disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity
- based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise, in relation
- to the Licensed Works. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses
- granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure
- any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, without
- limiting the foregoing disclaimers, if a third party patent license is required
- to allow Recipient to distribute the Licensed Work, it is Recipient's responsibility
- to acquire that license before distributing the Licensed Work.
-
- 2.4. RESERVATION.
-
- Nothing in this License shall be deemed to grant any rights to trademarks,
- copyrights, patents, trade secrets or any other intellectual property of Initial
- Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, or Distributor except as expressly stated
- herein.
-
- 3. DISTRIBUTION OBLIGATIONS.
-
- 3.1. DISTRIBUTION GENERALLY.
-
- (a) A Subsequent Contributor shall make that Subsequent Contributor's Subsequent
- Work(s) available to the public via an Electronic Distribution Mechanism for
- a period of at least twelve (12) months. The aforesaid twelve (12) month period
- shall begin within a reasonable time after the creation of the Subsequent
- Work and no later than sixty (60) days after first distribution of that Subsequent
- Contributor's Subsequent Work.
-
- (b) All Distributors must distribute the Licensed Work in accordance with
- the terms of the License, and must include a copy of this License (including
- without limitation Exhibit A and the accompanying Supplement File) with each
- copy of the Licensed Work distributed. In particular, this License must be
- prominently distributed with the Licensed Work in a file called "license.txt."
- In addition, the License Notice in Part 5 of Exhibit A must be included at
- the beginning of all Source Code files, and viewable to a user in any executable
- such that the License Notice is reasonably brought to the attention of any
- party using the Licensed Work.
-
- 3.2. EXECUTABLE DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE LICENSED WORK.
-
- A Distributor may choose to distribute the Licensed Work, or any portion thereof,
- in Executable form (an "EXECUTABLE DISTRIBUTION") to any third party, under
- the terms of Section 2 of this License, provided the Executable Distribution
- is made available under and accompanied by a copy of this License, AND provided
- at least ONE of the following conditions is fulfilled:
-
- (a) The Executable Distribution must be accompanied by the Source Code for
- the Licensed Work making up the Executable Distribution, and the Source Code
- must be distributed on the same media as the Executable Distribution or using
- an Electronic Distribution Mechanism; or
-
- (b) The Executable Distribution must be accompanied with a written offer,
- valid for at least thirty six (36) months, to give any third party under the
- terms of this License, for a charge no more than the cost of physically performing
- source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the Source Code for
- the Licensed Work making up the Executable Distribution, to be available and
- distributed using an Electronic Distribution Mechanism, and such Executable
- Distribution must remain available in Source Code form to any third party
- via the Electronic Distribution Mechanism (or any replacement Electronic Distribution
- Mechanism the particular Distributor may reasonably need to turn to as a substitute)
- for said at least thirty six (36) months.
-
- For greater certainty, the above-noted requirements apply to any Licensed
- Work or portion thereof distributed to any third party in Executable form,
- whether such distribution is made alone, in combination with a Larger Work
- or Independent Modules, or in some other combination.
-
- 3.3. SOURCE CODE DISTRIBUTIONS.
-
- When a Distributor makes the Licensed Work, or any portion thereof, available
- to any Person in Source Code form, it must be made available under this License
- and a copy of this License must be included with each copy of the Source Code,
- situated so that the copy of the License is conspicuously brought to the attention
- of that Person. For greater clarification, this Section 3.3 applies to all
- distribution of the Licensed Work in any Source Code form. A Distributor may
- charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, which charge shall
- be no more than the cost of physically performing source distribution.
-
- 3.4. REQUIRED NOTICES IN SOURCE CODE.
-
- Each Subsequent Contributor must ensure that the notice set out in Part 5
- of Exhibit A is included in each file of the Source Code for each Subsequent
- Work originating from that particular Subsequent Contributor, if such notice
- is not already included in each such file. If it is not possible to put such
- notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then the Subsequent
- Contributor must include such notice in a location (such as a relevant directory
- in which the file is stored) where a user would be likely to look for such
- a notice.
-
- 3.5. NO DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERNALLY USED MODIFICATIONS.
-
- Notwithstanding Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, Recipient may, internally within
- its own corporation or organization use the Licensed Work, including the Initial
- Work and Subsequent Works, and make Modifications for internal use within
- Recipient's own corporation or organization (collectively, "INTERNAL USE MODIFICATIONS").
- The Recipient shall have no obligation to distribute, in either Source Code
- or Executable form, any such Internal Use Modifications made by Recipient
- in the course of such internal use, except where required below in this Section
- 3.5. All Internal Use Modifications distributed to any Person, whether or
- not a Third Party, shall be distributed pursuant to and be accompanied by
- the terms of this License. If the Recipient chooses to distribute any such
- Internal Use Modifications to any Third Party, then the Recipient shall be
- deemed a Subsequent Contributor, and any such Internal Use Modifications distributed
- to any Third Party shall be deemed a Subsequent Work originating from that
- Subsequent Contributor, and shall from the first such instance become part
- of the Licensed Work that must thereafter be distributed and made available
- to third parties in accordance with the terms of Sections 3.1 to 3.4 inclusive.
-
- 3.6. INDEPENDENT MODULES.
-
- This License shall not apply to Independent Modules of any Initial Contributor,
- Subsequent Contributor, Distributor or any Recipient, and such Independent
- Modules may be licensed or made available under one or more separate license
- agreements.
-
- 3.7. LARGER WORKS.
-
- Any Distributor or Recipient may create or contribute to a Larger Work by
- combining any of the Licensed Work with other code not governed by the terms
- of this License, and may distribute the Larger Work as one or more products.
- However, in any such case, Distributor or Recipient (as the case may be) must
- make sure that the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Licensed
- Work portion of the Larger Work.
-
- 3.8. DESCRIPTION OF DISTRIBUTED MODIFICATIONS.
-
- (a) Each Subsequent Contributor (including the Initial Contributor where the
- Initial Contributor also qualifies as a Subsequent Contributor) must cause
- each Subsequent Work created or contributed to by that Subsequent Contributor
- to contain a file documenting the changes, in accordance with the requirements
- of Part 1 of the Supplement File, that such Subsequent Contributor made in
- the creation or contribution to that Subsequent Work. If no Supplement File
- exists or no requirements are set out in Part 1 of the Supplement File, then
- there are no requirements for Subsequent Contributors to document changes
- that they make resulting in Subsequent Works.
-
- (b) The Initial Contributor may at any time introduce requirements or add
- to or change earlier requirements (in each case, the "EARLIER DESCRIPTION
- REQUIREMENTS") for documenting changes resulting in Subsequent Works by revising
- Part 1 of each copy of the Supplement File distributed by the Initial Contributor
- with future copies of the Licensed Work so that Part 1 then contains new requirements
- (the "NEW DESCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS") for documenting such changes.
-
- (c) Any Recipient receiving at any time any copy of an Initial Work or any
- Subsequent Work under a copy of this License (in each case, an "Earlier LICENSED
- COPY") having the Earlier Description Requirements may choose, with respect
- to each such Earlier Licensed Copy, to comply with the Earlier Description
- Requirements or the New Description Requirements. Where a Recipient chooses
- to comply with the New Description Requirements, that Recipient will, when
- thereafter distributing any copies of any such Earlier Licensed Copy, include
- a Supplement File having a section entitled Part 1 that contains a copy of
- the New Description Requirements.
-
- (d) For greater certainty, the intent of Part 1 of the Supplement File is
- to provide a mechanism (if any) by which Subsequent Contributors must document
- changes that they make to the Licensed Work resulting in Subsequent Works.
- Part 1 of any Supplement File shall not be used to increase or reduce the
- scope of the license granted in Article 2 of this License or in any other
- way increase or decrease the rights and obligations of any Recipient, and
- shall at no time serve as the basis for terminating the License. Further,
- a Recipient can be required to correct and change its documentation procedures
- to comply with Part 1 of the Supplement File, but cannot be penalised with
- damages. Part 1 of any Supplement File is only binding on each Recipient of
- any Licensed Work to the extent Part 1 sets out the requirements for documenting
- changes to the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work.
-
- (e) An example of a set of requirements for documenting changes and contributions
- made by Subsequent Contributor is set out in Part 7 of Exhibit A of this License.
- Part 7 is a sample only and is not binding on Recipients, unless (subject
- to the earlier paragraphs of this Section 3.8) those are the requirements
- that the Initial Contributor includes in Part 1 of the Supplement File with
- the copies of the Initial Work distributed under this License.
-
- 3.9. USE OF DISTRIBUTOR NAME.
-
- The name of a Distributor may not be used by any other Distributor to endorse
- or promote the Licensed Work or products derived from the Licensed Work, without
- prior written permission.
-
- 3.10. LIMITED RECOGNITION OF INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR.
-
- (a) As a modest attribution to the Initial Contributor, in the hope that its
- promotional value may help justify the time, money and effort invested in
- writing the Initial Work, the Initial Contributor may include in Part 2 of
- the Supplement File a requirement that each time an executable program resulting
- from the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, or a program dependent thereon,
- is launched or run, a prominent display of the Initial Contributor's attribution
- information must occur (the "ATTRIBUTION INFORMATION"). The Attribution Information
- must be included at the beginning of each Source Code file. For greater certainty,
- the Initial Contributor may specify in the Supplement File that the above
- attribution requirement only applies to an executable program resulting from
- the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, but not a program dependent thereon.
- The intent is to provide for reasonably modest attribution, therefore the
- Initial Contributor may not require Recipients to display, at any time, more
- than the following Attribution Information: (a) a copyright notice including
- the name of the Initial Contributor; (b) a word or one phrase (not exceeding
- 10 words); (c) one digital image or graphic provided with the Initial Work;
- and (d) a URL (collectively, the "ATTRIBUTION LIMITS").
-
- (b) If no Supplement File exists, or no Attribution Information is set out
- in Part 2 of the Supplement File, then there are no requirements for Recipients
- to display any Attribution Information of the Initial Contributor.
-
- (c) Each Recipient acknowledges that all trademarks, service marks and/or
- trade names contained within Part 2 of the Supplement File distributed with
- the Licensed Work are the exclusive property of the Initial Contributor and
- may only be used with the permission of the Initial Contributor, or under
- circumstances otherwise permitted by law, or as expressly set out in this
- License.
-
- 3.11. For greater certainty, any description or attribution provisions contained
- within a Supplement File may only be used to specify the nature of the description
- or attribution requirements, as the case may be. Any provision in a Supplement
- File that otherwise purports to modify, vary, nullify or amend any right,
- obligation or representation contained herein shall be deemed void to that
- extent, and shall be of no force or effect.
-
- 4. COMMERCIAL USE AND INDEMNITY.
-
- 4.1. COMMERCIAL SERVICES.
-
- A Recipient ("COMMERCIAL RECIPIENT") may choose to offer, and to charge a
- fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations (collectively,
- "SERVICES") to one or more other Recipients or Distributors. However, such
- Commercial Recipient may do so only on that Commercial Recipient's own behalf,
- and not on behalf of any other Distributor or Recipient, and Commercial Recipient
- must make it clear than any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability
- obligation(s) is/are offered by Commercial Recipient alone. At no time may
- Commercial Recipient use any Services to deny any party the Licensed Work
- in Source Code or Executable form when so required under any of the other
- terms of this License. For greater certainty, this Section 4.1 does not diminish
- any of the other terms of this License, including without limitation the obligation
- of the Commercial Recipient as a Distributor, when distributing any of the
- Licensed Work in Source Code or Executable form, to make such distribution
- royalty-free (subject to the right to charge a fee of no more than the cost
- of physically performing Source Code or Executable distribution (as the case
- may be)).
-
- 4.2. INDEMNITY.
-
- Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with
- respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this License is
- intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Licensed Work, the Distributor
- who includes any of the Licensed Work in a commercial product offering should
- do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Distributors.
- Therefore, if a Distributor includes the Licensed Work in a commercial product
- offering or offers any Services, such Distributor ("COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTOR")
- hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Distributor or Subsequent
- Contributor (in each case an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") against any losses, damages
- and costs (collectively "LOSSES") arising from claims, lawsuits and other
- legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Party to the
- extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Distributor in connection
- with its distribution of any of the Licensed Work in a commercial product
- offering or in connection with any Services. The obligations in this section
- do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual
- property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Party must: (a)
- promptly notify the Commercial Distributor in writing of such claim; and (b)
- allow the Commercial Distributor to control, and co-operate with the Commercial
- Distributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified
- Party may participate in any such claim at its own expense.
-
- 5. VERSIONS OF THE LICENSE.
-
- 5.1. NEW VERSIONS.
-
- The Initial Contributor may publish revised and/or new versions of the License
- from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
-
- 5.2. EFFECT OF NEW VERSIONS.
-
- Once the Licensed Work or any portion thereof has been published by Initial
- Contributor under a particular version of the License, Recipient may choose
- to continue to use it under the terms of that version. However, if a Recipient
- chooses to use the Licensed Work under the terms of any subsequent version
- of the License published by the Initial Contributor, then from the date of
- making this choice, the Recipient must comply with the terms of that subsequent
- version with respect to all further reproduction, preparation of derivative
- works, public display of, public performance of, distribution and sublicensing
- by the Recipient in connection with the Licensed Work. No one other than the
- Initial Contributor has the right to modify the terms applicable to the Licensed
- Work
-
- 6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
-
- 6.1. GENERAL DISCLAIMER.
-
- EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LICENSE, THE LICENSED WORK IS PROVIDED
- UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY,
- GUARANTEE, ASSURANCE OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
- INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
- MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO
- THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LICENSED WORK IS WITH RECIPIENT. SHOULD
- ANY LICENSED WORK PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, RECIPIENT (NOT THE INITIAL
- CONTRIBUTOR OR ANY SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUMES THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY
- SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS CLAUSE CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART
- OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY LICENSED WORK IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT
- UNDER THIS LICENSE INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THIS DISCLAIMER.
-
- 6.2. RESPONSIBILITY OF RECIPIENTS.
-
- Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of
- using and distributing the Licensed Work and assumes all risks associated
- with its exercise of rights under this License, including but not limited
- to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws,
- damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption
- of operations.
-
- 7. TERMINATION.
-
- 7.1. This License shall continue until terminated in accordance with the express
- terms herein.
-
- 7.2. Recipient may choose to terminate this License automatically at any time.
-
- 7.3. This License, including without limitation the rights granted hereunder
- to a particular Recipient, will terminate automatically if such Recipient
- is in material breach of any of the terms of this License and fails to cure
- such breach within sixty (60) days of becoming aware of the breach. Without
- limiting the foregoing, any material breach by such Recipient of any term
- of any other License under which such Recipient is granted any rights to the
- Licensed Work shall constitute a material breach of this License.
-
- 7.4. Upon termination of this License by or with respect to a particular Recipient
- for any reason, all rights granted hereunder and under any other License to
- that Recipient shall terminate. However, all sublicenses to the Licensed Work
- which were previously properly granted by such Recipient under a copy of this
- License (in each case, an "Other License" and in plural, "Other Licenses")
- shall survive any such termination of this License, including without limitation
- the rights and obligations under such Other Licenses as set out in their respective
- Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, mutatis mutandis, for so long as the respective
- sublicensees (i.e. other Recipients) remain in compliance with the terms of
- the copy of this License under which such sublicensees received rights to
- the Licensed Work. Any termination of such Other Licenses shall be pursuant
- to their respective Section 7, mutatis mutandis. Provisions which, by their
- nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall
- survive.
-
- 7.5. Upon any termination of this License by or with respect to a particular
- Recipient, Sections 4.1, 4.2, 6.1, 6.2, 7.4, 7.5, 8.1, and 8.2, together with
- all provisions of this License necessary for the interpretation and enforcement
- of same, shall expressly survive such termination.
-
- 8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
-
- 8.1. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY OF INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR, ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR AFFILIATES,
