-
- 3. 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
- 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
- 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.
- 13. MULTIPLE-LICENSED CODE.
- Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as
- “Multiple-Licensed”. “Multiple-Licensed” means that the Initial Developer
- permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under Your choice of the
- MPL or the alternative licenses, if any, specified by the Initial Developer in
- the file described in Exhibit A.
