ADAPTIVE PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 1.0
THE LICENSED WORK IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ADAPTIVE PUBLIC LICENSE ("LICENSE"). ANY USE,
REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE LICENSED WORK CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS LICENSE
AND ITS TERMS, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH RECIPIENT READS THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. "LICENSED WORK" AND
"RECIPIENT" 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 your rights and obligations under this License.

See Section 2.2 below, Exhibit A attached, and any Suppfile.txt accompanying this License to determine
the specific adaptive features applicable to this License. For example, without limiting the
foregoing, (a) for selected choice of law and jurisdiction see Part 3 of Exhibit A; (b) for the
selected definition of Third Party see Part 4 of Exhibit A; and (c) for selected patent licensing
terms (if any) see Section 2.2 below and Part 6 of Exhibit A.

-
(i)
reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute
and sublicense the Initial Work; and
-
(ii)

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.
The Initial Contributor may publish revised and/or new versions of the License from time to
time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
-
5.2.
EFFECT OF NEW VERSIONS.
Once the Licensed Work or any portion thereof has been published by Initial Contributor
under a particular version of the License, Recipient may choose 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 by the Recipient in connection with the Licensed Work.
No one other than the Initial Contributor has the right to modify the terms applicable
to the Licensed Work
-
6.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
-
6.1.
GENERAL DISCLAIMER.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LICENSE, THE LICENSED WORK IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS
LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, GUARANTEE,
ASSURANCE OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF
THE LICENSED WORK IS WITH RECIPIENT. SHOULD ANY LICENSED WORK PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY
RESPECT, RECIPIENT (NOT THE INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR OR ANY SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUMES
THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS CLAUSE CONSTITUTES AN
ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY LICENSED WORK IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER
EXCEPT UNDER THIS LICENSE INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THIS DISCLAIMER.
-
6.2.
RESPONSIBILITY OF RECIPIENTS.
Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and
distributing the Licensed Work and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of
rights under this License, including but not limited to the risks and costs of program
errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or
equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.
-
7.
TERMINATION.
-
7.1.
This License shall continue until terminated in accordance with the express terms herein.
-
7.2.
Recipient may choose to terminate this License automatically at any time.
-
7.3.
This License, including without limitation the rights granted hereunder to a particular
Recipient, will terminate automatically if such Recipient is in material breach of any of the
terms of this License and fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days of becoming aware
of the breach. Without limiting the foregoing, any material breach by such Recipient of any
term of any other License under which such Recipient is granted any rights to the Licensed
Work shall constitute a material breach of this License.
-
7.4.
Upon termination of this License by or with respect to a particular Recipient for any reason, all
rights granted hereunder and under any other License to that Recipient shall terminate.
However, all sublicenses to the Licensed Work which were previously properly granted by such
Recipient under a copy of this License (in each case, an "Other License" and in plural, "Other
Licenses") shall survive any such termination of this License, including without limitation
the rights and obligations under such Other Licenses as set out in their respective Sections
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, mutatis mutandis, for so long as the respective sublicensees (i.e.
other Recipients) remain in compliance with the terms of the copy of this License under which
such sublicensees received rights to the Licensed Work. Any termination of such Other Licenses
shall be pursuant to their respective Section 7, mutatis mutandis. Provisions which, by their
nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
-
7.5.
Upon any termination of this License by or with respect to a particular Recipient, Sections 4.1,
4.2, 6.1, 6.2, 7.4, 7.5, 8.1, and 8.2, together with all provisions of this License necessary
for the interpretation and enforcement of same, shall expressly survive such termination.
-
8.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
-
8.1.
IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY OF INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR, ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF ITS OR
THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND/OR AGENTS (AS THE CASE MAY BE), HAVE ANY
LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES, INDIRECT DAMAGES, PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES,

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. THIS CLAUSE CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE
OF ANY LICENSED WORK IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS LICENSE INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 8.1.
-

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.
-
9.
GOVERNING LAW AND LEGAL ACTION.
-
9.1.
This License shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Governing
Jurisdiction assigned in Part 3 of Exhibit A, without regard to its conflict of law
provisions. No party may bring a legal action under this License more than one year after the
cause of the action arose. Each party waives its rights (if any) to a jury trial in any
litigation arising under this License. Note that if the Governing Jurisdiction is not assigned
in Part 3 of Exhibit A, then the Governing Jurisdiction shall be the State of New York.
-
9.2.
The courts of the Governing Jurisdiction shall have jurisdiction, but not exclusive jurisdiction,
to entertain and determine all disputes and claims, whether for specific performance,
injunction, damages or otherwise, both at law and in equity, arising out of or in any way
relating to this License, including without limitation, the legality, validity, existence and
enforceability of this License. Each party to this License hereby irrevocably attorns to and
accepts the jurisdiction of the courts of the Governing Jurisdiction for such purposes.
-
9.3.
Except as expressly set forth elsewhere herein, in the event of any action or proceeding brought

to a patent applicable to a computer program or software (including a cross-claim or
counterclaim in a lawsuit, and whether or not any of the patent claims are directed to a

form of patent claim), then any patent or copyright license granted by that User to such
Recipient under this License or any other copy of this License shall terminate. The
termination shall be effective ninety (90) days after notice of termination from User to
Recipient, unless the Recipient withdraws the patent litigation claim before the end of
the ninety (90) day period. To be effective, any such notice of license termination must
include a specific list of applicable patents and/or a copy of the copyrighted work of
User that User alleges will be infringed by Recipient upon License termination. License
termination is only effective with respect to patents and/or copyrights for which proper
notice has been given.

<<var;name="bullet";original="2.2.";match=".{0,20}">> PATENT LICENSE FROM INITIAL AND SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTORS.
<<var;name="bullet";original="(a)";match=".{0,20}">> 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").
<<var;name="bullet";original="(b)";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="(c)";match=".{0,20}">> 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.

<<var;name="bullet";original="2.3.";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="2.4.";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="3.";match=".{0,20}">> DISTRIBUTION OBLIGATIONS.
<<var;name="bullet";original="3.1.";match=".{0,20}">> DISTRIBUTION GENERALLY.
<<var;name="bullet";original="(a)";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="(b)";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="3.2.";match=".{0,20}">> 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:
<<var;name="bullet";original="(a)";match=".{0,20}">> 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
<<var;name="bullet";original="(b)";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="3.3.";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="3.4.";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="3.5.";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="3.6.";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="3.7.";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="3.8.";match=".{0,20}">> DESCRIPTION OF DISTRIBUTED MODIFICATIONS.
<<var;name="bullet";original="(a)";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="(b)";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="(c)";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="(d)";match=".{0,20}">> 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.

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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="3.9.";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="3.10.";match=".{0,20}">> LIMITED RECOGNITION OF INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR.
<<var;name="bullet";original="(a)";match=".{0,20}">> 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").
<<var;name="bullet";original="(b)";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="(c)";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="3.11.";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="4.";match=".{0,20}">> COMMERCIAL USE AND INDEMNITY.
<<var;name="bullet";original="4.1.";match=".{0,20}">> 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)).
<<var;name="bullet";original="4.2.";match=".{0,20}">> 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.
<<var;name="bullet";original="5.";match=".{0,20}">> VERSIONS OF THE LICENSE.
<<var;name="bullet";original="5.1.";match=".{0,20}">> NEW VERSIONS.
The Initial Contributor may publish revised and/or new versions of the License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
<<var;name="bullet";original="5.2.";match=".{0,20}">> EFFECT OF NEW VERSIONS.
Once the Licensed Work or any portion thereof has been published by Initial Contributor under a particular version of the License, Recipient may choose 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 by the Recipient in connection with the Licensed Work. No one other than the Initial Contributor has the right to modify the terms applicable to the Licensed Work
