158 governed by the terms of this License, including without limitation
\r
159 Section *2.2*. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be
\r
160 distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version
\r
161 of this License released under Section *6.1*, and You must include a
\r
162 copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code You
\r
163 distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Source Code
\r
164 version that alters or restricts the applicable version of this
\r
165 License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may
\r
166 include an additional document offering the additional rights
\r
167 described in Section *3.5*.
\r
169 *3.2. Availability of Source Code.*
\r
170 Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be
\r
171 made available in Source Code form under the terms of this License
\r
172 either on the same media as an Executable version or via an accepted
\r
173 Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an
\r
174 Executable version available; and if made available via Electronic
\r
175 Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve
\r
176 (12) months after the date it initially became available, or at
\r
177 least six (6) months after a subsequent version of that particular
\r
178 Modification has been made available to such recipients. You are
\r
179 responsible for ensuring that the Source Code version remains
\r
180 available even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is
\r
181 maintained by a third party.
\r
183 *3.3. Description of Modifications.*
\r
184 You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a
\r
185 file documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code
\r
186 and the date of any change. You must include a prominent statement
\r
187 that the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from
\r
188 Original Code provided by the Initial Developer and including the
\r
189 name of the Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any
\r
190 notice in an Executable version or related documentation in which
\r
191 You describe the origin or ownership of the Covered Code.
\r
193 *3.4. Intellectual Property Matters*
\r
195 *(a) Third Party Claims*.
\r
196 If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third
\r
197 party's intellectual property rights is required to exercise the
\r
198 rights granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2,
\r
199 Contributor must include a text file with the Source Code
\r
200 distribution titled ``LEGAL'' which describes the claim and the
\r
201 party making the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient
\r
202 will know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains such knowledge
\r
203 after the Modification is made available as described in Section
\r
204 3.2, Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all
\r
205 copies Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take
\r
206 other steps (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or
\r
207 newsgroups) reasonably calculated to inform those who received
\r
208 the Covered Code that new knowledge has been obtained.
\r
210 *(b) Contributor APIs*.
\r
211 If Contributor's Modifications include an application
\r
212 programming interface and Contributor has knowledge of patent
\r
213 licenses which are reasonably necessary to implement that API,
\r
214 Contributor must also include this information in the LEGAL file.
\r
217 *(c) Representations.*
\r
218 Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to
\r
219 Section 3.4(a) above, Contributor believes that Contributor's
\r
220 Modifications are Contributor's original creation(s) and/or
\r
221 Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed
\r
225 *3.5. Required Notices.*
\r
226 You must duplicate the notice in *Exhibit A* in each file of the
\r
227 Source Code. If it is not possible to put such notice in a
\r
228 particular Source Code file due to its structure, then You must
\r
229 include such notice in a location (such as a relevant directory)
\r
230 where a user would be likely to look for such a notice. If You
\r
231 created one or more Modification(s) You may add your name as a
\r
232 Contributor to the notice described in *Exhibit A*. You must also
\r
233 duplicate this License in any documentation for the Source Code
\r
234 where You describe recipients' rights or ownership rights relating
\r
235 to Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for,
\r
236 warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more
\r
237 recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own
\r
238 behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any
\r
239 Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear than any such
\r
240 warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is offered by
\r
241 You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer
\r
242 and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial
\r
243 Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
\r
244 indemnity or liability terms You offer.
\r
246 *3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.*
\r
247 You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the
\r
248 requirements of Section *3.1-3.5* have been met for that Covered
\r
249 Code, and if You include a notice stating that the Source Code
\r
250 version of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this
\r
251 License, including a description of how and where You have fulfilled
\r
252 the obligations of Section *3.2*. The notice must be conspicuously
\r
253 included in any notice in an Executable version, related
\r
254 documentation or collateral in which You describe recipients' rights
\r
255 relating to the Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable
\r
256 version of Covered Code or ownership rights under a license of Your
\r
257 choice, which may contain terms different from this License,
\r
258 provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License
\r
259 and that the license for the Executable version does not attempt to
\r
260 limit or alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code version
\r
261 from the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the
\r
262 Executable version under a different license You must make it
\r
263 absolutely clear that any terms which differ from this License are
\r
264 offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer or any
\r
265 Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and
\r
266 every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial
\r
267 Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.
\r
269 *3.7. Larger Works.*
\r
270 You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other
\r
271 code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the
\r
272 Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure
\r
273 the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.
\r
275 *4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.*
\r
277 If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
\r
278 License with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to
\r
279 statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply
\r
280 with the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and
\r
281 (b) describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such
\r
282 description must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section
\r
283 *3.4* and must be included with all distributions of the Source
\r
284 Code. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such
\r
285 description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of
\r
286 ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
\r
288 *5. Application of this License.*
\r
290 *5.1. Attached license*.
\r
291 This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has
\r
292 attached the notice in *Exhibit A* and to related Covered Code.
\r
294 *5.2. Detached license*.
\r
295 This License applies to code which is part of a Source Tree
\r
296 containing this license in a file named LICENSE or license.html at

\r
302 *6.1. New Versions*.
\r
303 The AROS development team may publish revised and/or new versions of
\r
304 the License from time to time. Each version will be given a
\r
305 distinguishing version number.
\r
307 *6.2. Effect of New Versions*.
\r
308 Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of
\r
309 the License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of
\r
310 that version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the
\r
311 terms of any subsequent version of the License. No one other than
\r
312 the AROS development team has the right to modify the terms
\r
313 applicable to Covered Code created under this License.
\r
315 *7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.*
\r
317 COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN ``AS IS'' BASIS,
\r
318 WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
\r
319 INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE IS
\r
320 FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
\r
321 NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF
\r
322 THE COVERED CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE
\r
323 DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY
\r
324 OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING,
\r
325 REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN
\r
326 ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED CODE IS
\r
327 AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
\r
331 *8.1. *This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
\r
332 automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to
\r
333 cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All
\r
334 sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall
\r
335 survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their
\r
336 nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License
\r
339 *8.2. *If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent
\r
340 infringement claim (excluding declatory judgment actions) against
\r
341 Initial Developer or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or
\r
342 Contributor against whom You file such action is referred to as
\r
343 "Participant") alleging that:
\r
345 *(a) *such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly
\r
346 infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such
\r
347 Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License
\r
348 shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively,
\r
349 unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You either: (i)
\r
350 agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable
\r
351 royalty for Your past and future use of Modifications made by such
\r
352 Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to
\r
353 the Contributor Version against such Participant. If within 60 days
\r
354 of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not
\r
355 mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation
\r
356 claim is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You
\r
357 under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the
\r
358 expiration of the 60 day notice period specified above.
\r
360 *(b)* any software, hardware, or device, other than such
\r
361 Participant's Contributor Version, directly or indirectly infringes
\r
362 any patent, then any rights granted to You by such Participant under
\r
363 Sections 2.1(b) and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You
\r
364 first made, used, sold, distributed, or had made, Modifications made
\r
365 by that Participant.
\r
367 *8.3. *If You assert a patent infringement claim against
\r
368 Participant alleging that such Participant's Contributor Version
\r
369 directly or indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is
\r
370 resolved (such as by license or settlement) prior to the initiation
\r
371 of patent infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the
\r
372 licenses granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall
\r
373 be taken into account in determining the amount or value of any
\r
374 payment or license.
\r
376 *8.4.* In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2
\r
377 above, all end user license agreements (excluding distributors and
\r
378 resellers) which have been validly granted by You or any distributor
\r
379 hereunder prior to termination shall survive termination.
\r
381 *9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.*
\r
383 UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
\r
384 (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE
\r
385 INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF
\r
386 COVERED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO
\r
387 ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
\r
388 DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR
\r
389 LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR
\r
390 ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY
\r
391 SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS
\r
392 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR
\r
393 PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT
\r
394 APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
\r
395 ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
\r
396 DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
\r
398 *10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.*
\r
400 The Covered Code is a ''commercial item,'' as that term is defined
\r
401 in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of ''commercial computer
\r
402 software'' and ''commercial computer software documentation,'' as
\r
403 such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent
\r
404 with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4
\r
405 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with
\r
406 only those rights set forth herein.
\r
408 *11. MISCELLANEOUS.*
\r
410 This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
\r
411 matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
\r
412 unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
\r
413 necessary to make it enforceable.
\r
415 *12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.*
\r
417 As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is
\r
418 responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly,
\r
419 out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to
\r
420 work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such
\r
421 responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or
\r
422 shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.
\r
424 *13. MULTIPLE-LICENSED CODE.*
\r
426 Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as
\r
427 "Multiple-Licensed". "Multiple-Licensed" means that the Initial
\r
428 Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under
\r
429 alternative licenses specified by the Initial Developer in the file
\r
430 described in Exhibit A.
