158 | available in Executable form must also be made available in Source
|
---|
159 | Code form and that Source Code form must be distributed only under
|
---|
160 | the terms of this License. You must include a copy of this
|
---|
161 | License with every copy of the Source Code form of the Covered
|
---|
162 | Software You distribute or otherwise make available. You must
|
---|
163 | inform recipients of any such Covered Software in Executable form
|
---|
164 | as to how they can obtain such Covered Software in Source Code
|
---|
165 | form in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily

172 | believe Your Modifications are Your original creation(s) and/or
|
---|
173 | You have sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this
|
---|
174 | License.
|
---|
175 |
|
---|
176 | 3.3. Required Notices.
|
---|
177 |
|
---|
178 | You must include a notice in each of Your Modifications that
|
---|
179 | identifies You as the Contributor of the Modification. You may
|
---|
180 | not remove or alter any copyright, patent or trademark notices
|
---|
181 | contained within the Covered Software, or any notices of licensing
|
---|
182 | or any descriptive text giving attribution to any Contributor or
|
---|
183 | the Initial Developer.
|
---|
184 |
|
---|
185 | 3.4. Application of Additional Terms.
|
---|
186 |
|
---|
187 | You may not offer or impose any terms on any Covered Software in
|
---|
188 | Source Code form that alters or restricts the applicable version
|
---|
189 | of this License or the recipients' rights hereunder. You may
|
---|
190 | choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
|
---|
191 | indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of
|
---|
192 | Covered Software. However, you may do so only on Your own behalf,
|
---|
193 | and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor.
|
---|
194 | You must make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support,
|
---|
195 | indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You
|
---|
196 | hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every
|
---|
197 | Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or
|
---|
198 | such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or
|
---|
199 | liability terms You offer.
|
---|
200 |
|
---|
201 | 3.5. Distribution of Executable Versions.
|
---|
202 |
|
---|
203 | You may distribute the Executable form of the Covered Software
|
---|
204 | under the terms of this License or under the terms of a license of
|
---|
205 | Your choice, which may contain terms different from this License,
|
---|
206 | provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License
|
---|
207 | and that the license for the Executable form does not attempt to
|
---|
208 | limit or alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code form from
|
---|
209 | the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the
|
---|
210 | Covered Software in Executable form under a different license, You
|
---|
211 | must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from
|
---|
212 | this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial
|
---|
213 | Developer or Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the
|
---|
214 | Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred
|
---|
215 | by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any
|
---|
216 | such terms You offer.
|
---|
217 |
|
---|
218 | 3.6. Larger Works.
|
---|
219 |
|
---|
220 | You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Software with
|
---|
221 | other code not governed by the terms of this License and
|
---|
222 | distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In such a case,
|
---|
223 | You must make sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled
|
---|
224 | for the Covered Software.
|
---|
225 |
|
---|
226 | 4. Versions of the License.
|
---|
227 |
|
---|
228 | 4.1. New Versions.
|
---|
229 |
|
---|
230 | Sun Microsystems, Inc. is the initial license steward and may
|
---|
231 | publish revised and/or new versions of this License from time to
|
---|
232 | time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
|
---|
233 | Except as provided in Section 4.3, no one other than the license
|
---|
234 | steward has the right to modify this License.
|
---|
235 |
|
---|
236 | 4.2. Effect of New Versions.
|
---|
237 |
|
---|
238 | You may always continue to use, distribute or otherwise make the
|
---|
239 | Covered Software available under the terms of the version of the
|
---|
240 | License under which You originally received the Covered Software.
|
---|
241 | If the Initial Developer includes a notice in the Original
|
---|
242 | Software prohibiting it from being distributed or otherwise made
|
---|
243 | available under any subsequent version of the License, You must
|
---|
244 | distribute and make the Covered Software available under the terms
|
---|
245 | of the version of the License under which You originally received
|
---|
246 | the Covered Software. Otherwise, You may also choose to use,
|
---|
247 | distribute or otherwise make the Covered Software available under
|
---|
248 | the terms of any subsequent version of the License published by
|
---|
249 | the license steward.
|
---|
250 |
|
---|
251 | 4.3. Modified Versions.
|
---|
252 |
|
---|
253 | When You are an Initial Developer and You want to create a new
|
---|
254 | license for Your Original Software, You may create and use a
|
---|
255 | modified version of this License if You: (a) rename the license
|
---|
256 | and remove any references to the name of the license steward
|
---|
257 | (except to note that the license differs from this License); and
|
---|
258 | (b) otherwise make it clear that the license contains terms which
|
---|
259 | differ from this License.
|
---|
260 |
|
---|
261 | 5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
|
---|
262 |
|
---|
263 | COVERED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS"
|
---|
264 | BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
|
---|
265 | INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED
|
---|
266 | SOFTWARE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR
|
---|
267 | PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
|
---|
268 | PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY
|
---|
269 | COVERED SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE
|
---|
270 | INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY
|
---|
271 | NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF
|
---|
272 | WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF
|
---|
273 | ANY COVERED SOFTWARE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS
|
---|
274 | DISCLAIMER.
|
---|
275 |
|
---|
276 | 6. TERMINATION.
|
---|
277 |
|
---|
278 | 6.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
|
---|
279 | automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to
|
---|
280 | cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach.
|
---|
281 | Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond
|
---|
282 | the termination of this License shall survive.
|
---|
283 |
|
---|
284 | 6.2. If You assert a patent infringement claim (excluding
|
---|
285 | declaratory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a
|
---|
286 | Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You
|
---|
287 | assert such claim is referred to as "Participant") alleging that
|
---|
288 | the Participant Software (meaning the Contributor Version where
|
---|
289 | the Participant is a Contributor or the Original Software where
|
---|
290 | the Participant is the Initial Developer) directly or indirectly
|
---|
291 | infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted directly or
|
---|
292 | indirectly to You by such Participant, the Initial Developer (if
|
---|
293 | the Initial Developer is not the Participant) and all Contributors
|
---|
294 | under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days
|
---|
295 | notice from Participant terminate prospectively and automatically
|
---|
296 | at the expiration of such 60 day notice period, unless if within
|
---|
297 | such 60 day period You withdraw Your claim with respect to the
|
---|
298 | Participant Software against such Participant either unilaterally
|
---|
299 | or pursuant to a written agreement with Participant.
|
---|
300 |
|
---|
301 | 6.3. In the event of termination under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above,
|
---|
302 | all end user licenses that have been validly granted by You or any
|
---|
303 | distributor hereunder prior to termination (excluding licenses
|
---|
304 | granted to You by any distributor) shall survive termination.
|
---|
305 |
|
---|
306 | 7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
|
---|
307 |
|
---|
308 | UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
|
---|
309 | (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE
|
---|
310 | INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF
|
---|
311 | COVERED SOFTWARE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE
|
---|
312 | LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
|
---|
313 | CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT
|
---|
314 | LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK
|
---|
315 | STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER
|
---|
316 | COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN
|
---|
317 | INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF
|
---|
318 | LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL
|
---|
319 | INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT
|
---|
320 | APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO
|
---|
321 | NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
|
---|
322 | CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT
|
---|
323 | APPLY TO YOU.

325 | 8. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
|
---|
326 |
|
---|
327 | The Covered Software is a "commercial item," as that term is
|
---|
328 | defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial
|
---|
329 | computer software" (as that term is defined at 48
|
---|
330 | C.F.R. 252.227-7014(a)(1)) and "commercial computer software
|
---|
331 | documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212
|
---|
332 | (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48
|
---|
333 | C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all
|
---|
334 | U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Software with only those
|
---|
335 | rights set forth herein. This U.S. Government Rights clause is in
|
---|
336 | lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFAR, or other clause or
|
---|
337 | provision that addresses Government rights in computer software
|
---|
338 | under this License.
|
---|
339 |

340 | 9. MISCELLANEOUS.
|
---|
341 |
|
---|
342 | This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
|
---|
343 | matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
|
---|
344 | unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
|
---|
345 | necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed
|
---|
346 | by the law of the jurisdiction specified in a notice contained
|
---|
347 | within the Original Software (except to the extent applicable law,
|
---|
348 | if any, provides otherwise), excluding such jurisdiction's
|
---|
349 | conflict-of-law provisions. Any litigation relating to this
|
---|
350 | License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located
|
---|
351 | in the jurisdiction and venue specified in a notice contained
|
---|
352 | within the Original Software, with the losing party responsible
|
---|
353 | for costs, including, without limitation, court costs and
|
---|
354 | reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. The application of the
|
