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") The Regents of the
University of Minnesota ("UMN") 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 UMN. No one other than
Netscape UMN 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", "Netscape", "MPL",
"NPL" "University of Minnesota", "UMN", "FavaBeans",
"FBPL" 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 FavaBeans 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 NPL FBPL
or the alternative licenses, if any, specified by the Initial
Developer in the file described in Exhibit A.
