|
|
combination of the Original Code and Modifications, in each case
|
|
including portions thereof.
|
|
|
|
1.4. ``Electronic Distribution Mechanism'' means a mechanism generally
|
|
accepted in the software development community for the electronic
|
|

|
|
|
|
1.9. ``Modifications'' means any addition to or deletion from the
|
|
substance or structure of either the Original Code or any previous
|
|

previous Modifications.
|
|
|
|
1.10. ``Original Code'' means Source Code of computer software code

|
|
differential comparisons against either the Original Code or another
|
|
well known, available Covered Code of the Contributor's choice. The
|
|
Source Code can be in a compressed or archival form, provided the

|
|
for no charge.
|
|
|
|
1.12. ``You'' means an individual or a legal entity exercising rights

|
|
claims:
|
|

|
(b) under patents now or hereafter owned or controlled by Initial
|
|

|
|
any such patent is reasonably necessary to enable You to Utilize
|
|
the Original Code (or portions thereof) and not to any greater
|
|
extent that may be necessary to Utilize further Modifications or
|
|
combinations.
|
|
|
|

|
|
Version (or portions thereof), and not to any greater extent that
|
|

|
|
|
|
3. Distribution Obligations.
|
|
|
|
3.1. Application of License.
|
|
The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are
|
|
governed by the terms of this License, including without limitation
|
|
Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be distributed
|
|
only under the terms of this License or a future version of this
|
|
License released under Section 6.1, and You must include a copy of this
|
|
License with every copy of the Source Code You distribute. You may not
|
|
offer or impose any terms on any Source Code version that alters or
|
|
restricts the applicable version of this License or the recipients'
|
|
rights hereunder. However, You may include an additional document
|
|
offering the additional rights described in Section 3.5.
|
|
|
|
3.2. Availability of Source Code.
|
|
Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be
|
|
made available in Source Code form under the terms of this License
|
|
either on the same media as an Executable version or via an accepted
|
|
Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an
|
|
Executable version available; and if made available via Electronic
|
|
Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve (12)
|
|
months after the date it initially became available, or at least six
|
|
(6) months after a subsequent version of that particular Modification
|
|
has been made available to such recipients. You are responsible for
|
|
ensuring that the Source Code version remains available even if the
|
|
Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party.
|
|
|
|
3.3. Description of Modifications.
|
|
You must cause all Covered Code to which you contribute to contain a
|
|
file documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code and
|
|
the date of any change. You must include a prominent statement that the
|
|
Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original Code
|
|
provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial
|
|
Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an
|
|
Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the
|
|
origin or ownership of the Covered Code.
|
|
|
|
3.4. Intellectual Property Matters
|
|
|
|
(a) Third Party Claims.
|
|
If You have knowledge that a party claims an intellectual property
|
|
right in particular functionality or code (or its utilization
|
|
under this License), you must include a text file with the source
|
|
code distribution titled ``LEGAL'' which describes the claim and
|
|
the party making the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient
|
|
will know whom to contact. If you obtain such knowledge after You
|
|
make Your Modification available as described in Section 3.2, You
|
|
shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies You make
|
|
available thereafter and shall take other steps (such as notifying
|
|
appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably calculated to
|
|
inform those who received the Covered Code that new knowledge has
|
|
been obtained.
|
|
|
|
(b) Contributor APIs.
|
|
If Your Modification is an application programming interface and
|
|
You own or control patents which are reasonably necessary to
|
|
implement that API, you must also include this information in the
|
|
LEGAL file.
|
|
|
|
3.5. Required Notices.
|
|
You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source
|
|
Code, and this License in any documentation for the Source Code, where
|
|
You describe recipients' rights relating to Covered Code. If You
|
|
created one or more Modification(s), You may add your name as a
|
|
Contributor to the notice described in Exhibit A. If it is not possible
|
|
to put such notice in a particular Source Code file due to its
|
|
structure, then you must include such notice in a location (such as a
|
|
relevant directory file) where a user would be likely to look for such
|
|
a notice. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty,
|
|
support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients
|
|
of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and
|
|
not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You must
|
|
make it absolutely clear than any such warranty, support, indemnity or
|
|
liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to
|
|
indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability
|
|
incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of
|
|
warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
|
|
|
|
3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.
|
|
You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the
|
|
requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for that Covered Code,
|
|
and if You include a notice stating that the Source Code version of the
|
|
Covered Code is available under the terms of this License, including a
|
|
description of how and where You have fulfilled the obligations of
|
|
Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously included in any notice in
|
|
an Executable version, related documentation or collateral in which You
|
|
describe recipients' rights relating to the Covered Code. You may
|
|
distribute the Executable version of Covered Code under a license of
|
|
Your choice, which may contain terms different from this License,
|
|
provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License and
|
|
that the license for the Executable version does not attempt to limit
|
|
or alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code version from the
|
|
rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the Executable
|
|
version under a different license You must make it absolutely clear
|
|
that any terms which differ from this License are offered by You alone,
|
|
not by the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to
|
|
indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability
|
|
incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of
|
|
any such terms You offer.
|
|
|
|
3.7. Larger Works.
|
|
You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code
|
|
not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger
|
|
Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the
|
|
requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.
|
|
|
|
4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
|
|
|
|
If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
|
|
License with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to statute
|
|
or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License
|
|
to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and
|
|
the code they affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL
|
|
file described in Section 3.4 and must be included with all
|
|
distributions of the Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited by
|
|
statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed
|
|
for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
|
|
|
|
5. Application of this License.
|
|
|
|
This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has
|
|
attached the notice in Exhibit A, and to related Covered Code.
|
|
|
|
6. Versions of the License.
|
|
|
|
6.1. New Versions.
|
|
Netscape Communications Corporation (``Netscape'') may publish revised
|
|
and/or new versions of the License from time to time. Each version will
|
|
be given a distinguishing version number.
|
|
|
|
6.2. Effect of New Versions.
|
|
Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the
|
|
License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of that
|
|
version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms
|
|
of any subsequent version of the License published by Netscape. No one
|
|
other than Netscape has the right to modify the terms applicable to
|
|
Covered Code created under this License.
|
|
|
|
6.3. Derivative Works.
|
|
If you create or use a modified version of this License (which you may
|
|
only do in order to apply it to code which is not already Covered Code
|
|
governed by this License), you must (a) rename Your license so that the
|
|
phrases ``Mozilla'', ``MOZILLAPL'', ``MOZPL'', ``Netscape'', ``NPL'' or
|
|
any confusingly similar phrase do not appear anywhere in your license
|
|
and (b) otherwise make it clear that your version of the license
|
|
contains terms which differ from the Mozilla Public License and
|
|
Netscape Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer,
|
|
Original Code or Contributor in the notice described in Exhibit A shall
|
|
not of themselves be deemed to be modifications of this License.)
|
|
|
|
7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
|
|
|
|
COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN ``AS IS'' BASIS,
|
|
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
|
|
WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF
|
|
DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING.
|
|
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED CODE
|
|
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT,
|
|
YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE
|
|
COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER
|
|
OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF
|
|
ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
|
|
|
|
8. TERMINATION.
|
|
|
|
This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
|
|
automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure
|
|
such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All
|
|
sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall
|
|
survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their
|
|
nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License
|
|
shall survive.
|
|
|
|
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
|
|
|
|
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
|
|
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL THE INITIAL
|
|
DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE,
|
|
OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER
|
|
PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
|
|
OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF
|
|
GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND
|
|
ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE
|
|
BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF
|
|
LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY
|
|
RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW
|
|
PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
|
|
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THAT
|
|
EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
|
|
|
|
10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
|
|
|
|
The Covered Code is a ``commercial item,'' as that term is defined in
|
|
48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of ``commercial computer
|
|
software'' and ``commercial computer software documentation,'' as such
|
|
terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48
|
|
C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995),
|
|
all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those
|
|
rights set forth herein.
|
|
|
|
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
|
|
|
|
This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
|
|
matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
|
|
unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
|
|
necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by
|
|
California law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if any,
|
|
provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. With
|
|
respect to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen of, or an
|
|
entity chartered or registered to do business in, the United States of
|
|
America: (a) unless otherwise agreed in writing, all disputes relating
|
|
to this License (excepting any dispute relating to intellectual
|
|
property rights) shall be subject to final and binding arbitration,
|
|
with the losing party paying all costs of arbitration; (b) any
|
|
arbitration relating to this Agreement shall be held in Santa Clara
|
|
County, California, under the auspices of JAMS/EndDispute; and (c) any
|
|
litigation relating to this Agreement shall be subject to the
|
|
jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern District of
|
|
California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County, California, with
|
|
the losing party responsible for costs, including without limitation,
|
|
court costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses. The application
|
|
of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
|
|
Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which
|
|
provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the
|
|
drafter shall not apply to this License.
|
|
|
|
12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
|
|
|
|
Except in cases where another Contributor has failed to comply with
|
|
Section 3.4, You are responsible for damages arising, directly or
|
|
indirectly, out of Your utilization of rights under this License, based
|
|
on the number of copies of Covered Code you made available, the
|
|
revenues you received from utilizing such rights, and other relevant
|
|
factors. You agree to work with affected parties to distribute
|
|
responsibility on an equitable basis.
|
|
|
|
AMENDMENTS
|
|
Additional Terms applicable to the Netscape Public License.
|
|
|
|
I. Effect.
|
|
These additional terms described in this Netscape Public License --
|
|
Amendments shall apply to the Mozilla Communicator client code and to
|
|
all Covered Code under this License.
|
|
|
|
II. ``Netscape's Branded Code'' means Covered Code that Netscape
|
|
distributes and/or permits others to distribute under one or more
|
|
trademark(s) which are controlled by Netscape but which are not
|
|
licensed for use under this License.
|
|
|
|
III. Netscape and logo.
|
|
This License does not grant any rights to use the trademark
|
|
``Netscape'', the ``Netscape N and horizon'' logo or the Netscape
|
|
lighthouse logo, even if such marks are included in the Original Code.
|
|
|
|
IV. Inability to Comply Due to Contractual Obligation.
|
|
Prior to licensing the Original Code under this License, Netscape has
|
|
licensed third party code for use in Netscape's Branded Code. To the
|
|
extent that Netscape is limited contractually from making such third
|
|
party code available under this License, Netscape may choose to
|
|
reintegrate such code into Covered Code without being required to
|
|
distribute such code in Source Code form, even if such code would
|
|
otherwise be considered ``Modifications'' under this License.
|
|
|
|
V. Use of Modifications and Covered Code by Initial Developer.
|
|
|
|
V.1. In General.
|
|
The obligations of Section 3 apply to Netscape, except to the
|
|
extent specified in this Amendment, Section V.2 and V.3.
|
|
|
|
V.2. Other Products.
|
|
Netscape may include Covered Code in products other than the
|
|
Netscape's Branded Code which are released by Netscape during the
|
|
two (2) years following the release date of the Original Code,
|
|
without such additional products becoming subject to the terms of
|
|
this License, and may license such additional products on
|
|
different terms from those contained in this License.
|
|
|
|
V.3. Alternative Licensing.
|
|
Netscape may license the Source Code of Netscape's Branded Code,
|
|
including Modifications incorporated therein, without such
|
|
additional products becoming subject to the terms of this License,
|
|
and may license such additional products on different terms from
|
|
those contained in this License.
|
|
|
|
VI. Arbitration and Litigation.
|
|
Notwithstanding the limitations of Section 11 above, the provisions
|
|
regarding arbitration and litigation in Section 11(a), (b) and (c) of
|
|
the License shall apply to all disputes relating to this License.
|
