No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to distribute
|
|
the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this License (see Section
|
|

|
|
of Section 3.3).
|
|
|

|
|
are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights to grant the rights
|
|
to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
|
|
|
|
2.6 Fair Use
|

copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other equivalents.
|
|
|
|
2.7 Conditions
|
|
|
|
Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted in

|
Section 2.1.
|
|
|
|
3. Responsibilities
|
|
|
|
3.1 Distribution of Source Form
|
|
|
|
All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any Modifications
|
|
that You create or to which You contribute, must be under the terms of this
|
|
License. You must inform recipients that the Source Code Form of the Covered
|
|
Software is governed by the terms of this License, and how they can obtain
|
|
a copy of this License. You must cause any of Your Modifications to carry
|
|
prominent notices stating that You changed the files. You may not attempt
|
|
to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form.
|
|
|
|
3.2 Distribution of Executable Form
|
|
|
|
If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
|
|
|
|
a. such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code Form,
|
|
as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of the Executable
|
|
Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code Form by reasonable means
|
|
in a timely manner, at a charge no more than the cost of distribution to the
|
|
recipient; and
|
|
|
|
b. You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this License,
|
|
or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the license for the
|
|
Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter the recipients' rights
|
|
in the Source Code Form under this License.
|
|
|
|
3.3 Distribution of a Larger Work
|
|
|
|
You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice, provided
|
|
that You also comply with the requirements of this License for the Covered
|
|
Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered Software with a work
|
|
governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the Covered Software is not
|
|
Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this License permits You to additionally
|
|
distribute such Covered Software under the terms of such Secondary License(s),
|
|
so that the recipient of the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute
|
|
the Covered Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
|
|
License(s).
|
|
|
|
3.4 Notices
|
|
|
|
You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices (including
|
|
copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty, or limitations
|
|
of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of the Covered Software,
|
|
except that You may alter any license notices to the extent required to remedy
|
|
known factual inaccuracies.
|
|
|
|
3.5 Application of Additional Terms
|
|
|
|
3.5.1 You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
|
|
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Software.
|
|
However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of any Contributor.
|
|
You must make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support, indemnity,
|
|
or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify
|
|
every Contributor for any liability incurred by such Contributor as a result
|
|
of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include
|
|
additional disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to
|
|
any jurisdiction.
|
|
|
|
3.5.2 You may place additional conditions upon the rights granted in this
|
|
License to the extent necessary due to statute, judicial order, regulation
|
|
(including without limitation state and federal procurement regulation), national
|
|
security, or public interest. Any such additional conditions must be clearly
|
|
described in the notice provisions required under Section 3.4. Any alteration
|
|
of the terms of this License will apply to all copies of the Covered Software
|
|
distributed by You or by any downstream recipients that receive the Covered
|
|
Software from You.
|
|
|
|
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 Software 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 notices required under
|
|
Section 3.4. 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. Termination
|
|
|
|
5.1 Failure to Comply
|
|
|
|
The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically if You
|
|
fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become compliant, then
|
|
the rights granted under this License from a particular Contributor are reinstated
|
|
(a) provisionally, unless and until such Contributor explicitly and finally
|
|
terminates Your grants, and (b) on an ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails
|
|
to notify You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60-days
|
|
after You have come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
|
|
Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor notifies
|
|
You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the first time
|
|
You have received notice of non-compliance with this License from such Contributor,
|
|
and You become compliant prior to 30-days after Your receipt of the notice.
|
|
|
|
5.2 Patent Infringement Claims
|
|
|
|
If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent infringement
|
|
claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions, counter-claims, and cross-claims
|
|
) alleging that a Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any
|
|
patent, then the rights granted to You by any and all Contributors for the
|
|
Covered Software under Section 2.1 of this License shall terminate.
|
|
|
|
5.3 Additional Compliance Terms
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 5, for purposes of this Section,
|
|
if You breach Section 3.1 (Distribution of Source Form), Section 3.2 (Distribution
|
|
of Executable Form), Section 3.3 (Distribution of a Larger Work), or Section
|
|
3.4 (Notices), then becoming compliant as described in Section 5.1 must also
|
|
include, no later than 30 days after receipt by You of notice of such violation
|
|
by a Contributor, making the Covered Software available in Source Code Form
|
|
as required by this License on a publicly available computer network for a
|
|
period of no less than three (3) years.
|
|
|
|
5.4 Contributor Remedies
|
|
|
|
If You fail to comply with the terms of this License and do not thereafter
|
|
become compliant in accordance with Section 5.1 and, if applicable, Section
|
|
5.3, then each Contributor reserves its right, in addition to any other rights
|
|
it may have in law or in equity, to bring an action seeking injunctive relief,
|
|
or damages for willful copyright or patent infringement (including without
|
|
limitation damages for unjust enrichment, where available under law), for
|
|
all actions in violation of rights that would otherwise have been granted
|
|
under the terms of this License.
|
|
|
|
5.5 End User License Agreements
|
|
|
|
In the event of termination under this Section 5, all end user license agreements
|
|
(excluding distributors and resellers), which have been validly granted by
|
|
You or Your distributors under this License prior to termination shall survive
|
|
termination.
|
|
|
|
6. Disclaimer of Warranty
|
|
|
|
Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is" basis, without
|
|
warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or statutory, including,
|
|
without limitation, warranties that the Covered Software 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 Software is with You. Should
|
|
any Covered Software prove defective in any respect, You (not any 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
|
|
Software is authorized under this License except under this disclaimer.
|
|
|
|
7. Limitation of Liability
|
|
|
|
Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort (including
|
|
negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any Contributor, or anyone who
|
|
distributes Covered Software as permitted above, be liable to You for any
|
|
direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character
|
|
including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, 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.
|
|
|
|
8. Litigation
|
|
|
|
Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the courts
|
|
of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal place of business
|
|
and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that jurisdiction, without
|
|
reference to its conflict-of-law provisions. Nothing in this Section shall
|
|
prevent a party's ability to bring cross-claims or counter-claims.
|
|
|
|
9. Government Terms
|
|
|
|
9.1 Commercial Item

|
|
C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and
|
|
"commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are used in 48

hereby waive their sovereign immunity with respect to enforcement of the provisions
|
|
of this License.
|
|
|
|
9.3 Choice of Law and Venue
|
|
|
|
9.3.1 If You are a government of a state of the United States, or Your use
|
|
of the Covered Software is pursuant to a procurement contract with such a
|
|
state government, this License shall be governed by the law of such state,
|
|
excluding its conflict-of-law provisions, and the adjudication of disputes
|
|
relating to this License will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of
|
|
the state and federal courts located in such state.
|
|
|
|
9.3.2 If You are an agency of the United States federal government, or Your
|
|
use of the Covered Software is pursuant to a procurement contract with such
|
|
an agency, this License shall be governed by federal law for all purposes,
|
|
and the adjudication of disputes relating to this License will be subject
|
|
to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts located in Washington,
|
|
D.C.
|
|
|
|
9.3.3 You may alter the terms of this Section 9.3 for this License as described
|
|
in Section 3.5.2.
|
|
|
|
9.4 Supremacy
|
|
|
|
This Section 9 is in lieu of, and supersedes, any other Federal Acquisition
|
|
Regulation, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation, or other clause or provision
|
|
that addresses government rights in computer software under this License.
|
|
|
|
10. Miscellaneous
|
|
|
|
This License represents the complete agreement concerning the 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.
|
|
Any law or regulation, which provides that the language of a contract shall
|
|
be construed against the drafter, shall not be used to construe this License
|
|
against a Contributor.
|
|
|
|
11. Versions of the License
|
|
|
|
11.1 New Versions
|
|
|
|
The Open Source Election Technology Foundation ("OSET") (formerly known as
|
|
the Open Source Digital Voting Foundation) is the steward of this License.
|
|
Except as provided in Section 11.3, no one other than the license steward
|
|
has the right to modify or publish new versions of this License. Each version
|
|
will be given a distinguishing version number.
|
|
|
|
11.2 Effects of New Versions

|
|
the terms of any subsequent version published by the license steward.
|
|
|
|
11.3 Modified Versions
|
|
|
|
If You create software not governed by this License, and You want to create
|
|
a new license for such software, You may create and use a modified version
|
|
of this License if You rename the license and remove any references to the
|
|
name of the license steward (except to note that such modified license differs
|
|
from this License).
|
|
|
|
11.4 Distributing Source Code Form That is Incompatible With Secondary Licenses
