6 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
9 [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts
10 as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
11 the version number 2.1.]
15 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
16 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
17 Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
18 free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
20 This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
21 specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
22 Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You
23 can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
24 this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
25 strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
27 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
28 not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
29 you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
30 for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
31 it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
32 it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
35 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
36 distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
37 rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
38 you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
40 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
41 or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
42 you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
43 code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide
44 complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
45 with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
46 it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
48 We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
49 library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
50 permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
52 To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
53 there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is
54 modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
55 that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
56 author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
59 Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
60 any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot
61 effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
62 restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that
63 any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
64 consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
66 Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
67 ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser
68 General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
69 is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use
70 this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
71 libraries into non-free programs.
73 When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
74 a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
75 combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary
76 General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
77 entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General
78 Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
81 We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
82 does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
83 Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less
84 of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages
85 are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
86 libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
87 special circumstances.
89 For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
90 encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
91 a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be
92 allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free
93 library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this
94 case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
95 software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
97 In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
98 programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
99 free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
100 non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
101 operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
104 Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
105 users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
106 linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
107 that program using a modified version of the Library.
109 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
110 modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a
111 "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The
112 former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
113 be combined with the library in order to run.
115 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
116 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
118 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
119 program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
120 other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
121 this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
122 Each licensee is addressed as "you".
124 A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
125 prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
126 (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
128 The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
129 which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the
130 Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
131 copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
132 portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
133 straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
134 included without limitation in the term "modification".)
136 "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
137 making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means
138 all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
139 interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
140 and installation of the library.
142 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
143 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
144 running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
145 such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
146 on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
147 writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
148 and what the program that uses the Library does.
150 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
151 complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
152 you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
153 appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
154 all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
155 warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
158 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
159 and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
162 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
163 of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
164 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
165 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
167 a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
169 b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
170 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
172 c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
173 charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
175 d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
176 table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
177 the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
178 is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
179 in the event an application does not supply such function or
180 table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
181 its purpose remains meaningful.
183 (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
184 a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
185 application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
186 application-supplied function or table used by this function must
187 be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
188 root function must still compute square roots.)
190 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
191 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
192 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
193 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
194 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
195 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
196 on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
197 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
198 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
201 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
202 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
203 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
204 collective works based on the Library.
206 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
207 with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
208 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
209 the scope of this License.
211 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
212 License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do
213 this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
214 that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
215 instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the
216 ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
217 that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in
220 Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
221 that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
222 subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
224 This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
225 the Library into a program that is not a library.
227 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
228 derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
229 under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
230 it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
231 must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
232 medium customarily used for software interchange.
234 If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
235 from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
236 source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
237 distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
238 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
240 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
241 Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
242 linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a
243 work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
244 therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
246 However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
247 creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
248 contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
249 library". The executable is therefore covered by this License.
250 Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
252 When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
253 that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
254 derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
255 Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
256 linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The
257 threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
259 If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
260 structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
261 functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
262 file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
263 work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
264 Library will still fall under Section 6.)
266 Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
267 distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
268 Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
269 whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
271 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
272 link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
273 work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
274 under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
275 modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
276 engineering for debugging such modifications.
278 You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
279 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
280 this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work
281 during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
282 copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
283 directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
286 a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
287 machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
288 changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
289 Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
290 with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
291 uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
292 user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
293 executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood
294 that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
295 Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
296 to use the modified definitions.)
298 b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
299 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
300 copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
301 rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
302 will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
303 the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
304 interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
306 c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
307 least three years, to give the same user the materials
308 specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
309 than the cost of performing this distribution.
311 d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
312 from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
313 specified materials from the same place.
315 e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
316 materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
318 For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
319 Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
320 reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception,
321 the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
322 normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
323 components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
324 which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
327 It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
328 restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
329 accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot
330 use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
333 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
334 Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
335 facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
336 library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
337 the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
338 permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
340 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
341 based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
342 facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the
345 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
346 that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
347 where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
349 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
350 the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any
351 attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
352 distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
353 rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
354 or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
355 terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
357 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
358 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
359 distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are
360 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
361 modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
362 Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
363 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
364 the Library or works based on it.
366 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
367 Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
368 original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
369 subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
370 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
371 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
374 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
375 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
376 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
377 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
378 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
379 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
380 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
381 may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent
382 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
383 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
384 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
385 refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
387 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
388 particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
389 and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
391 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
392 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
393 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
394 integrity of the free software distribution system which is
395 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
396 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
397 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
398 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
399 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
402 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
403 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
405 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
406 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
407 original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
408 an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
409 so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
410 excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
411 written in the body of this License.
413 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
414 versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
415 Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
416 but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
418 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library
419 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
420 "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
421 conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
422 the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a
423 license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
424 the Free Software Foundation.
426 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
427 programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
428 write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
429 copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
430 Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
431 decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
432 of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
433 and reuse of software generally.
437 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
438 WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
439 EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
440 OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
441 KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
442 IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
443 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
444 LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
445 THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
447 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
448 WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
449 AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
450 FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
451 CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
452 LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
453 RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
454 FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
455 SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
458 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
460 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
462 If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
463 possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
464 everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
465 redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
466 ordinary General Public License).
468 To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
469 safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
470 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
471 "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
473 <one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
474 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
476 This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
477 modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
478 License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
479 version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
481 This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
482 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
483 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
484 Lesser General Public License for more details.
486 You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public

490 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

494 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

587 The Initial Developer hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
588 non-exclusive license, subject to third party intellectual property

602 effective on the date Initial Developer first distributes
603 Original Code under the terms of this License.
605 (d) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is
606 granted: 1) for code that You delete from the Original Code; 2)
607 separate from the Original Code; or 3) for infringements caused
608 by: i) the modification of the Original Code or ii) the
609 combination of the Original Code with other software or devices.
611 2.2. Contributor Grant.
612 Subject to third party intellectual property claims, each Contributor
613 hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license

620 and/or as part of a Larger Work; and
622 (b) under Patent Claims infringed by the making, using, or
623 selling of Modifications made by that Contributor either alone
624 and/or in combination with its Contributor Version (or portions
625 of such combination), to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have
626 made, and/or otherwise dispose of: 1) Modifications made by that
627 Contributor (or portions thereof); and 2) the combination of
628 Modifications made by that Contributor with its Contributor

642 infringed by Covered Code in the absence of Modifications made by
645 3. Distribution Obligations.
647 3.1. Application of License.
648 The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are
649 governed by the terms of this License, including without limitation
650 Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be
651 distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version
652 of this License released under Section 6.1, and You must include a
653 copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code You
654 distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Source Code
655 version that alters or restricts the applicable version of this
656 License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may include
657 an additional document offering the additional rights described in
660 3.2. Availability of Source Code.
661 Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be
662 made available in Source Code form under the terms of this License
663 either on the same media as an Executable version or via an accepted
664 Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an
665 Executable version available; and if made available via Electronic
666 Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve (12)
667 months after the date it initially became available, or at least six
668 (6) months after a subsequent version of that particular Modification
669 has been made available to such recipients. You are responsible for
670 ensuring that the Source Code version remains available even if the
671 Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party.
673 3.3. Description of Modifications.
674 You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a
675 file documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code and
676 the date of any change. You must include a prominent statement that
677 the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original
678 Code provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the
679 Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an
680 Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the
681 origin or ownership of the Covered Code.
683 3.4. Intellectual Property Matters
684 (a) Third Party Claims.
685 If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party's
686 intellectual property rights is required to exercise the rights
687 granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2,
688 Contributor must include a text file with the Source Code
689 distribution titled "LEGAL" which describes the claim and the
690 party making the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will
691 know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains such knowledge after
692 the Modification is made available as described in Section 3.2,
693 Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies
694 Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take other steps
695 (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups)
696 reasonably calculated to inform those who received the Covered
697 Code that new knowledge has been obtained.
699 (b) Contributor APIs.
700 If Contributor's Modifications include an application programming
701 interface and Contributor has knowledge of patent licenses which
702 are reasonably necessary to implement that API, Contributor must
703 also include this information in the LEGAL file.
706 Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to
707 Section 3.4(a) above, Contributor believes that Contributor's
708 Modifications are Contributor's original creation(s) and/or
709 Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by
712 3.5. Required Notices.
713 You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source
714 Code. If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular Source
715 Code file due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a
716 location (such as a relevant directory) where a user would be likely
717 to look for such a notice. If You created one or more Modification(s)
718 You may add your name as a Contributor to the notice described in
719 Exhibit A. You must also duplicate this License in any documentation
720 for the Source Code where You describe recipients' rights or ownership
721 rights relating to Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and to
722 charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability
723 obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You
724 may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial
725 Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear than
726 any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is
727 offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial
728 Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the
729 Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty,
730 support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
732 3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.
733 You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the
734 requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for that Covered Code,
735 and if You include a notice stating that the Source Code version of
736 the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License,
737 including a description of how and where You have fulfilled the
738 obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously included
739 in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or
740 collateral in which You describe recipients' rights relating to the
741 Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable version of Covered
742 Code or ownership rights under a license of Your choice, which may
743 contain terms different from this License, provided that You are in
744 compliance with the terms of this License and that the license for the
745 Executable version does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's
746 rights in the Source Code version from the rights set forth in this
747 License. If You distribute the Executable version under a different
748 license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ
749 from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial
750 Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the
751 Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by
752 the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such
756 You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code
757 not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger
758 Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the
759 requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.
761 4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
763 If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
764 License with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to
765 statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
766 the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
767 describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description
768 must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section 3.4 and must
769 be included with all distributions of the Source Code. Except to the
770 extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be
771 sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to
774 5. Application of this License.
776 This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has
777 attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code.
779 6. Versions of the License.
782 Netscape Communications Corporation ("Netscape") may publish revised
783 and/or new versions of the License from time to time. Each version
784 will be given a distinguishing version number.
786 6.2. Effect of New Versions.
787 Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the
788 License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of that
789 version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms
790 of any subsequent version of the License published by Netscape. No one
791 other than Netscape has the right to modify the terms applicable to
792 Covered Code created under this License.
794 6.3. Derivative Works.
795 If You create or use a modified version of this License (which you may
796 only do in order to apply it to code which is not already Covered Code
797 governed by this License), You must (a) rename Your license so that
798 the phrases "Mozilla", "MOZILLAPL", "MOZPL", "Netscape",
799 "MPL", "NPL" or any confusingly similar phrase do not appear in your
800 license (except to note that your license differs from this License)
801 and (b) otherwise make it clear that Your version of the license
802 contains terms which differ from the Mozilla Public License and
803 Netscape Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial
804 Developer, Original Code or Contributor in the notice described in
805 Exhibit A shall not of themselves be deemed to be modifications of
808 7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
810 COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS,
811 WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
812 WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF
813 DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING.
814 THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED CODE
815 IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT,
816 YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE
817 COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER
818 OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF
819 ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
823 8.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
824 automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure
825 such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All
826 sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall
827 survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their
828 nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License
831 8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement
832 claim (excluding declatory judgment actions) against Initial Developer
833 or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom
834 You file such action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that:
836 (a) such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly
837 infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such
838 Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License
839 shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively,
840 unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You either: (i)
841 agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable
842 royalty for Your past and future use of Modifications made by such
843 Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to
844 the Contributor Version against such Participant. If within 60 days
845 of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not
846 mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim
847 is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You under
848 Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the expiration of
849 the 60 day notice period specified above.
851 (b) any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's
852 Contributor Version, directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then
853 any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b)
854 and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You first made, used,
855 sold, distributed, or had made, Modifications made by that
858 8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant
859 alleging that such Participant's Contributor Version directly or
860 indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as
861 by license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent
862 infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses
863 granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken
864 into account in determining the amount or value of any payment or
867 8.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above,
868 all end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers)
869 which have been validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder
870 prior to termination shall survive termination.
872 9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
874 UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
875 (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL
876 DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE,
877 OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR
878 ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY
879 CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL,
880 WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER
881 COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN
882 INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF
883 LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY
884 RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW
885 PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
886 EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO
887 THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
889 10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
891 The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in
892 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer
893 software" and "commercial computer software documentation," as such
894 terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48
895 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995),
896 all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those
897 rights set forth herein.
901 This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
902 matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
903 unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
904 necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by
905 California law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if
906 any, provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions.
907 With respect to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen of,
908 or an entity chartered or registered to do business in the United
909 States of America, any litigation relating to this License shall be
910 subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern
911 District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County,
912 California, with the losing party responsible for costs, including
913 without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and
914 expenses. The application of the United Nations Convention on
915 Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
916 Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract
917 shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this
920 12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
922 As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is
923 responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly,
924 out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to
925 work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such
926 responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or
927 shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.
929 13. MULTIPLE-LICENSED CODE.
931 Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as
932 "Multiple-Licensed". "Multiple-Licensed" means that the Initial
933 Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under
934 Your choice of the NPL or the alternative licenses, if any, specified
935 by the Initial Developer in the file described in Exhibit A.
