|
ARE DEFINED BELOW.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: This License is "adaptive", and the generic version or another
|
|
version of an Adaptive Public License should not be relied upon to determine

|
|
Adaptive Public License that you receive with the Licensed Work, as certain
|
|
terms are defined at the outset by the Initial Contributor.
|
|

|
|
of law and jurisdiction see Part 3 of Exhibit A; (b) for the selected definition
|

|
|
the Licensed Work; (b) is included by reference in the Licensed Work other
|
|
than by a function call or a class reference; or (c) must be included or contained,

where such changes and/or additions originate from a Subsequent Contributor.
|
|
A Subsequent Work will "originate" from a Subsequent Contributor if the Subsequent
|
|
Work was a result of efforts by such Subsequent Contributor (or anyone acting
|
|
on such Subsequent Contributor's behalf, such as, a contractor or other entity
|
|
that is engaged by or under the direction of the Subsequent Contributor).
|
|
For greater certainty, a Subsequent Work expressly excludes and shall not
|

2. LICENSE.
|
|
|
|
2.1. COPYRIGHT LICENSE FROM INITIAL AND SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTORS.
|
|
|
|
(a) Subject to the terms of this License, the Initial Contributor hereby grants
|
|
each Recipient a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive copyright license
|
|
to:
|
|
|
|
(i) reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,
|
|
distribute and sublicense the Initial Work; and
|
|
|
|
(ii) reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, and sublicense
|
|
any derivative works (if any) prepared by Recipient;
|
|
|
|
in Source Code and Executable form, either with other Modifications, on an
|
|
unmodified basis, or as part of a Larger Work.
|
|
|
|
(b) Subject to the terms of this License, each Subsequent Contributor hereby
|
|
grants each Recipient a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive copyright
|
|
license to:
|
|
|
|
(i) reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,
|
|
distribute and sublicense the Subsequent Work of such Subsequent Contributor;
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
(ii) reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, and sublicense
|
|
any derivative works (if any) prepared by Recipient;
|
|
|
|
in Source Code and Executable form, either with other Modifications, on an
|
|
unmodified basis, or as part of a Larger Work.
|
|
|
|
2.2. PATENT LICENSE FROM INITIAL AND SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTORS.
|
|
|
|
(a) This License does not include or grant any patent license whatsoever from
|
|
the Initial Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, or any Distributor unless,
|
|
at the time the Initial Work is first distributed or made available under
|
|
this License (as the case may be), the Initial Contributor has selected pursuant
|
|
to Part 6 of Exhibit A the patent terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from
|
|
Part 6 of Exhibit A. If this is not done then the Initial Work and any other
|
|
Subsequent Work is made available under the License without any patent license
|
|
(the "PATENTS-EXCLUDED LICENSE").
|
|
|
|
(b) However, the Initial Contributor may subsequently distribute or make available
|
|
(as the case may be) future copies of: (1) the Initial Work; or (2) any Licensed
|
|
Work distributed by the Initial Contributor which includes the Initial Work
|
|
(or any portion thereof) and/or any Modification made by the Initial Contributor;
|
|
available under a License which includes a patent license (the "PATENTS-INCLUDED
|
|
LICENSE") by selecting pursuant to Part 6 of Exhibit A the patent terms in
|
|
paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of Exhibit A, when the Initial Contributor
|
|
distributes or makes available (as the case may be) such future copies under
|
|
this License.
|
|
|
|
(c) If any Recipient receives or obtains one or more copies of the Initial
|
|
Work or any other portion of the Licensed Work under the Patents-Included
|
|
License, then all licensing of such copies under this License shall include
|
|
the terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of Exhibit A and that
|
|
Recipient shall not be able to rely upon the Patents-Excluded License for
|
|
any such copies. However, all Recipients that receive one or more copies of
|
|
the Initial Work or any other portion of the Licensed Work under a copy of
|
|
the License which includes the Patents-Excluded License shall have no patent
|
|
license with respect to such copies received under the Patents-Excluded License
|
|
and availability and distribution of such copies, including Modifications
|
|
made by such Recipient to such copies, shall be under a copy of the License
|
|
without any patent license.
|
|
|
|
(d) Where a Recipient uses in combination or combines any copy of the Licensed
|
|
Work (or portion thereof) licensed under a copy of the License having a Patents-Excluded
|
|
License with any copy of the Licensed Work (or portion thereof) licensed under
|
|
a copy of the License having a Patents-Included License, the combination (and
|
|
any portion thereof) shall, from the first time such Recipient uses, makes
|
|
available or distributes the combination (as the case may be), be subject
|
|
to only the terms of the License having the Patents-Included License which
|
|
shall include the terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of Exhibit
|
|
A.
|
|
|
|
2.3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND DISCLAIMER.
|
|
|
|
Recipient understands and agrees that although Initial Contributor and each
|
|
Subsequent Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth
|
|
herein, no representation, warranty, guarantee or assurance is provided by
|
|
any Initial Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, or Distributor that the Licensed
|
|
Work does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of
|
|
any other entity. Initial Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, and each Distributor
|
|
disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity
|
|
based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise, in relation
|
|
to the Licensed Works. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses
|
|
granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure
|
|
any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, without
|
|
limiting the foregoing disclaimers, if a third party patent license is required
|
|
to allow Recipient to distribute the Licensed Work, it is Recipient's responsibility
|
|
to acquire that license before distributing the Licensed Work.
|
|
|
|
2.4. RESERVATION.
|
|
|
|
Nothing in this License shall be deemed to grant any rights to trademarks,
|
|
copyrights, patents, trade secrets or any other intellectual property of Initial
|
|
Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, or Distributor except as expressly stated
|
|
herein.
|
|
|
|
3. DISTRIBUTION OBLIGATIONS.
|
|
|
|
3.1. DISTRIBUTION GENERALLY.
|
|
|
|
(a) A Subsequent Contributor shall make that Subsequent Contributor's Subsequent
|
|
Work(s) available to the public via an Electronic Distribution Mechanism for
|
|
a period of at least twelve (12) months. The aforesaid twelve (12) month period
|
|
shall begin within a reasonable time after the creation of the Subsequent
|
|
Work and no later than sixty (60) days after first distribution of that Subsequent
|
|
Contributor's Subsequent Work.
|
|
|
|
(b) All Distributors must distribute the Licensed Work in accordance with
|
|
the terms of the License, and must include a copy of this License (including
|
|
without limitation Exhibit A and the accompanying Supplement File) with each
|
|
copy of the Licensed Work distributed. In particular, this License must be
|
|
prominently distributed with the Licensed Work in a file called "license.txt."
|
|
In addition, the License Notice in Part 5 of Exhibit A must be included at
|
|
the beginning of all Source Code files, and viewable to a user in any executable
|
|
such that the License Notice is reasonably brought to the attention of any
|
|
party using the Licensed Work.
|
|
|
|
3.2. EXECUTABLE DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE LICENSED WORK.
|
|
|
|
A Distributor may choose to distribute the Licensed Work, or any portion thereof,
|
|
in Executable form (an "EXECUTABLE DISTRIBUTION") to any third party, under
|
|
the terms of Section 2 of this License, provided the Executable Distribution
|
|
is made available under and accompanied by a copy of this License, AND provided
|
|
at least ONE of the following conditions is fulfilled:
|
|
|
|
(a) The Executable Distribution must be accompanied by the Source Code for
|
|
the Licensed Work making up the Executable Distribution, and the Source Code
|
|
must be distributed on the same media as the Executable Distribution or using
|
|
an Electronic Distribution Mechanism; or
|
|
|
|
(b) The Executable Distribution must be accompanied with a written offer,
|
|
valid for at least thirty six (36) months, to give any third party under the
|
|
terms of this License, for a charge no more than the cost of physically performing
|
|
source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the Source Code for
|
|
the Licensed Work making up the Executable Distribution, to be available and
|
|
distributed using an Electronic Distribution Mechanism, and such Executable
|
|
Distribution must remain available in Source Code form to any third party
|
|
via the Electronic Distribution Mechanism (or any replacement Electronic Distribution
|
|
Mechanism the particular Distributor may reasonably need to turn to as a substitute)
|
|
for said at least thirty six (36) months.
|
|
|
|
For greater certainty, the above-noted requirements apply to any Licensed
|
|
Work or portion thereof distributed to any third party in Executable form,
|
|
whether such distribution is made alone, in combination with a Larger Work
|
|
or Independent Modules, or in some other combination.
|
|
|
|
3.3. SOURCE CODE DISTRIBUTIONS.
|
|
|
|
When a Distributor makes the Licensed Work, or any portion thereof, available
|
|
to any Person in Source Code form, it must be made available under this License
|
|
and a copy of this License must be included with each copy of the Source Code,
|
|
situated so that the copy of the License is conspicuously brought to the attention
|
|
of that Person. For greater clarification, this Section 3.3 applies to all
|
|
distribution of the Licensed Work in any Source Code form. A Distributor may
|
|
charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, which charge shall
|
|
be no more than the cost of physically performing source distribution.
|
|
|
|
3.4. REQUIRED NOTICES IN SOURCE CODE.
|
|
|
|
Each Subsequent Contributor must ensure that the notice set out in Part 5
|
|
of Exhibit A is included in each file of the Source Code for each Subsequent
|
|
Work originating from that particular Subsequent Contributor, if such notice
|
|
is not already included in each such file. If it is not possible to put such
|
|
notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then the Subsequent
|
|
Contributor must include such notice in a location (such as a relevant directory
|
|
in which the file is stored) where a user would be likely to look for such
|
|
a notice.
|
|
|
|
3.5. NO DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERNALLY USED MODIFICATIONS.
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, Recipient may, internally within
|
|
its own corporation or organization use the Licensed Work, including the Initial
|
|
Work and Subsequent Works, and make Modifications for internal use within
|
|
Recipient's own corporation or organization (collectively, "INTERNAL USE MODIFICATIONS").
|
|
The Recipient shall have no obligation to distribute, in either Source Code
|
|
or Executable form, any such Internal Use Modifications made by Recipient
|
|
in the course of such internal use, except where required below in this Section
|
|
3.5. All Internal Use Modifications distributed to any Person, whether or
|
|
not a Third Party, shall be distributed pursuant to and be accompanied by
|
|
the terms of this License. If the Recipient chooses to distribute any such
|
|
Internal Use Modifications to any Third Party, then the Recipient shall be
|
|
deemed a Subsequent Contributor, and any such Internal Use Modifications distributed
|
|
to any Third Party shall be deemed a Subsequent Work originating from that
|
|
Subsequent Contributor, and shall from the first such instance become part
|
|
of the Licensed Work that must thereafter be distributed and made available
|
|
to third parties in accordance with the terms of Sections 3.1 to 3.4 inclusive.
|
|
|
|
3.6. INDEPENDENT MODULES.
|
|
|
|
This License shall not apply to Independent Modules of any Initial Contributor,
|
|
Subsequent Contributor, Distributor or any Recipient, and such Independent
|
|
Modules may be licensed or made available under one or more separate license
|
|
agreements.
|
|
|
|
3.7. LARGER WORKS.
|
|
|
|
Any Distributor or Recipient may create or contribute to a Larger Work by
|
|
combining any of the Licensed Work with other code not governed by the terms
|
|
of this License, and may distribute the Larger Work as one or more products.
|
|
However, in any such case, Distributor or Recipient (as the case may be) must
|
|
make sure that the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Licensed
|
|
Work portion of the Larger Work.
|
|
|
|
3.8. DESCRIPTION OF DISTRIBUTED MODIFICATIONS.
|
|
|
|
(a) Each Subsequent Contributor (including the Initial Contributor where the
|
|
Initial Contributor also qualifies as a Subsequent Contributor) must cause
|
|
each Subsequent Work created or contributed to by that Subsequent Contributor
|
|
to contain a file documenting the changes, in accordance with the requirements
|
|
of Part 1 of the Supplement File, that such Subsequent Contributor made in
|
|
the creation or contribution to that Subsequent Work. If no Supplement File
|
|
exists or no requirements are set out in Part 1 of the Supplement File, then
|
|
there are no requirements for Subsequent Contributors to document changes
|
|
that they make resulting in Subsequent Works.
|
|
|
|
(b) The Initial Contributor may at any time introduce requirements or add
|
|
to or change earlier requirements (in each case, the "EARLIER DESCRIPTION
|
|
REQUIREMENTS") for documenting changes resulting in Subsequent Works by revising
|
|
Part 1 of each copy of the Supplement File distributed by the Initial Contributor
|
|
with future copies of the Licensed Work so that Part 1 then contains new requirements
|
|
(the "NEW DESCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS") for documenting such changes.
|
|
|
|
(c) Any Recipient receiving at any time any copy of an Initial Work or any
|
|
Subsequent Work under a copy of this License (in each case, an "Earlier LICENSED
|
|
COPY") having the Earlier Description Requirements may choose, with respect
|
|
to each such Earlier Licensed Copy, to comply with the Earlier Description
|
|
Requirements or the New Description Requirements. Where a Recipient chooses
|
|
to comply with the New Description Requirements, that Recipient will, when
|
|
thereafter distributing any copies of any such Earlier Licensed Copy, include
|
|
a Supplement File having a section entitled Part 1 that contains a copy of
|
|
the New Description Requirements.
|
|
|
|
(d) For greater certainty, the intent of Part 1 of the Supplement File is
|
|
to provide a mechanism (if any) by which Subsequent Contributors must document
|
|
changes that they make to the Licensed Work resulting in Subsequent Works.
|
|
Part 1 of any Supplement File shall not be used to increase or reduce the
|
|
scope of the license granted in Article 2 of this License or in any other
|
|
way increase or decrease the rights and obligations of any Recipient, and
|
|
shall at no time serve as the basis for terminating the License. Further,
|
|
a Recipient can be required to correct and change its documentation procedures
|
|
to comply with Part 1 of the Supplement File, but cannot be penalised with
|
|
damages. Part 1 of any Supplement File is only binding on each Recipient of
|
|
any Licensed Work to the extent Part 1 sets out the requirements for documenting
|
|
changes to the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work.
|
|
|
|
(e) An example of a set of requirements for documenting changes and contributions
|
|
made by Subsequent Contributor is set out in Part 7 of Exhibit A of this License.
|
|
Part 7 is a sample only and is not binding on Recipients, unless (subject
|
|
to the earlier paragraphs of this Section 3.8) those are the requirements
|
|
that the Initial Contributor includes in Part 1 of the Supplement File with
|
|
the copies of the Initial Work distributed under this License.
|
|
|
|
3.9. USE OF DISTRIBUTOR NAME.
|
|
|
|
The name of a Distributor may not be used by any other Distributor to endorse
|
|
or promote the Licensed Work or products derived from the Licensed Work, without
|
|
prior written permission.
|
|
|
|
3.10. LIMITED RECOGNITION OF INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR.
|
|
|
|
(a) As a modest attribution to the Initial Contributor, in the hope that its
|
|
promotional value may help justify the time, money and effort invested in
|
|
writing the Initial Work, the Initial Contributor may include in Part 2 of
|
|
the Supplement File a requirement that each time an executable program resulting
|
|
from the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, or a program dependent thereon,
|
|
is launched or run, a prominent display of the Initial Contributor's attribution
|
|
information must occur (the "ATTRIBUTION INFORMATION"). The Attribution Information
|
|
must be included at the beginning of each Source Code file. For greater certainty,
|
|
the Initial Contributor may specify in the Supplement File that the above
|
|
attribution requirement only applies to an executable program resulting from
|
|
the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, but not a program dependent thereon.
|
|
The intent is to provide for reasonably modest attribution, therefore the
|
|
Initial Contributor may not require Recipients to display, at any time, more
|
|
than the following Attribution Information: (a) a copyright notice including
|
|
the name of the Initial Contributor; (b) a word or one phrase (not exceeding
|
|
10 words); (c) one digital image or graphic provided with the Initial Work;
|
|
and (d) a URL (collectively, the "ATTRIBUTION LIMITS").
|
|
|
|
(b) If no Supplement File exists, or no Attribution Information is set out
|
|
in Part 2 of the Supplement File, then there are no requirements for Recipients
|
|
to display any Attribution Information of the Initial Contributor.
|
|
|
|
(c) Each Recipient acknowledges that all trademarks, service marks and/or
|
|
trade names contained within Part 2 of the Supplement File distributed with
|
|
the Licensed Work are the exclusive property of the Initial Contributor and
|
|
may only be used with the permission of the Initial Contributor, or under
|
|
circumstances otherwise permitted by law, or as expressly set out in this
|
|
License.
|
|
|
|
3.11. For greater certainty, any description or attribution provisions contained
|
|
within a Supplement File may only be used to specify the nature of the description
|
|
or attribution requirements, as the case may be. Any provision in a Supplement
|
|
File that otherwise purports to modify, vary, nullify or amend any right,
|
|
obligation or representation contained herein shall be deemed void to that
|
|
extent, and shall be of no force or effect.
|
|
|
|
4. COMMERCIAL USE AND INDEMNITY.
|
|
|
|
4.1. COMMERCIAL SERVICES.
|
|
|
|
A Recipient ("COMMERCIAL RECIPIENT") may choose to offer, and to charge a
|
|
fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations (collectively,
|
|
"SERVICES") to one or more other Recipients or Distributors. However, such
|
|
Commercial Recipient may do so only on that Commercial Recipient's own behalf,
|
|
and not on behalf of any other Distributor or Recipient, and Commercial Recipient
|
|
must make it clear than any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability
|
|
obligation(s) is/are offered by Commercial Recipient alone. At no time may
|
|
Commercial Recipient use any Services to deny any party the Licensed Work
|
|
in Source Code or Executable form when so required under any of the other
|
|
terms of this License. For greater certainty, this Section 4.1 does not diminish
|
|
any of the other terms of this License, including without limitation the obligation
|
|
of the Commercial Recipient as a Distributor, when distributing any of the
|
|
Licensed Work in Source Code or Executable form, to make such distribution
|
|
royalty-free (subject to the right to charge a fee of no more than the cost
|
|
of physically performing Source Code or Executable distribution (as the case
|
|
may be)).
|
|
|
|
4.2. INDEMNITY.
|
|
|
|
Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with
|
|
respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this License is
|
|
intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Licensed Work, the Distributor
|
|
who includes any of the Licensed Work in a commercial product offering should
|
|
do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Distributors.
|
|
Therefore, if a Distributor includes the Licensed Work in a commercial product
|
|
offering or offers any Services, such Distributor ("COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTOR")
|
|
hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Distributor or Subsequent
|
|
Contributor (in each case an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") against any losses, damages
|
|
and costs (collectively "LOSSES") arising from claims, lawsuits and other
|
|
legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Party to the
|
|
extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Distributor in connection
|
|
with its distribution of any of the Licensed Work in a commercial product
|
|
offering or in connection with any Services. The obligations in this section
|
|
do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual
|
|
property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Party must: (a)
|
|
promptly notify the Commercial Distributor in writing of such claim; and (b)
|
|
allow the Commercial Distributor to control, and co-operate with the Commercial
|
|
Distributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified
|
|
Party may participate in any such claim at its own expense.
|
|
|
|
5. VERSIONS OF THE LICENSE.

|
|

5.1. NEW VERSIONS.

5.2. EFFECT OF NEW VERSIONS.
|
|
|
|
Once the Licensed Work or any portion thereof has been published by Initial
|
|

|
|
to continue to use it under the terms of that version. However, if a Recipient
|
|
chooses to use the Licensed Work under the terms of any subsequent version
|
|
of the License published by the Initial Contributor, then from the date of
|
|
making this choice, the Recipient must comply with the terms of that subsequent
|
|
version with respect to all further reproduction, preparation of derivative
|
|
works, public display of, public performance of, distribution and sublicensing
|
