The Open Software Licensev. 2.1
|
||
|
||
This Open Software License (the "License") applies to any original work of
|
||
authorship (the "Original Work") whose owner (the "Licensor") has placed the
|
||
following notice immediately following the copyright notice for the Original
|
||
Work:
|
||
|
||
Licensed under the Open Software License version 2.1
|
||
|
||
1) Grant of Copyright License. Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide,
|
||
royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, sublicenseable license to do the
|
||
following:
|
||
|
||
a) to reproduce the Original Work in copies;
|
||
|
||
b) to prepare derivative works ("Derivative Works") based upon the Original
|
||
Work;
|
||
|
||
c) to distribute copies of the Original Work and Derivative Works to the
|
||
public, with the proviso that copies of Original Work or Derivative Works that
|
||
You distribute shall be licensed under the Open Software License;
|
||
|
||
d) to perform the Original Work publicly; and
|
||
|
||
e) to display the Original Work publicly.
|
||
|
||
2) Grant of Patent License. Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-
|
||
free, non-exclusive, perpetual, sublicenseable license, under patent claims
|
||
owned or controlled by the Licensor that are embodied in the Original Work as
|
||
furnished by the Licensor, to make, use, sell and offer for sale the Original
|
||
Work and Derivative Works.
|
||
|
||
3) Grant of Source Code License. The term "Source Code" means the preferred
|
||
form of the Original Work for making modifications to it and all available
|
||
documentation describing how to modify the Original Work. Licensor hereby
|
||
agrees to provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Original
|
||
Work along with each copy of the Original Work that Licensor distributes.
|
||
Licensor reserves the right to satisfy this obligation by placing a machine-
|
||
readable copy of the Source Code in an information repository reasonably
|
||
calculated to permit inexpensive and convenient access by You for as long as
|
||
Licensor continues to distribute the Original Work, and by publishing the
|
||
address of that information repository in a notice immediately following the
|
||
copyright notice that applies to the Original Work.
|
||
|
||
4) Exclusions From License Grant. Neither the names of Licensor, nor the names
|
||
of any contributors to the Original Work, nor any of their trademarks or
|
||
service marks, may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this
|
||
Original Work without express prior written permission of the Licensor.
|
||
Nothing in this License shall be deemed to grant any rights to trademarks,
|
||
copyrights, patents, trade secrets or any other intellectual property of
|
||
Licensor except as expressly stated herein. No patent license is granted to
|
||
make, use, sell or offer to sell embodiments of any patent claims other than
|
||
the licensed claims defined in Section 2. No right is granted to the
|
||
trademarks of Licensor even if such marks are included in the Original Work.
|
||
Nothing in this License shall be interpreted to prohibit Licensor from
|
||
licensing under different terms from this License any Original Work that
|
||
Licensor otherwise would have a right to license.
|
||
|
||
5) External Deployment. The term "External Deployment" means the use or
|
||
distribution of the Original Work or Derivative Works in any way such that the
|
||
Original Work or Derivative Works may be used by anyone other than You,
|
||
whether the Original Work or Derivative Works are distributed to those persons
|
||
or made available as an application intended for use over a computer network.
|
||
As an express condition for the grants of license hereunder, You agree that
|
||
any External Deployment by You of a Derivative Work shall be deemed a
|
||
distribution and shall be licensed to all under the terms of this License, as
|
||
prescribed in section 1(c) herein.
|
||
|
||
6) Attribution Rights. You must retain, in the Source Code of any Derivative
|
||
Works that You create, all copyright, patent or trademark notices from the
|
||
Source Code of the Original Work, as well as any notices of licensing and any
|
||
descriptive text identified therein as an "Attribution Notice." You must cause
|
||
the Source Code for any Derivative Works that You create to carry a prominent
|
||
Attribution Notice reasonably calculated to inform recipients that You have
|
||
modified the Original Work.
|
||
|
||
7) Warranty of Provenance and Disclaimer of Warranty. Licensor warrants that
|
||
the copyright in and to the Original Work and the patent rights granted herein
|
||
by Licensor are owned by the Licensor or are sublicensed to You under the
|
||
terms of this License with the permission of the contributor(s) of those
|
||
copyrights and patent rights. Except as expressly stated in the immediately
|
||
proceeding sentence, the Original Work is provided under this License on an
|
||
"AS IS" BASIS and WITHOUT WARRANTY, either express or implied, including,
|
||
without limitation, the warranties of NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY or
|
||
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE
|
||
ORIGINAL WORK IS WITH YOU. This DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY constitutes an
|
||
essential part of this License. No license to Original Work is granted
|
||
hereunder except under this disclaimer.
|
||
|
||
8) Limitation of Liability. Under no circumstances and under no legal theory,
|
||
whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall the
|
||
Licensor be liable to any person for any direct, indirect, special,
|
||
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a result of
|
||
this License or the use of the Original Work including, without limitation,
|
||
damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction,
|
||
or any and all other commercial damages or losses. This limitation of
|
||
liability shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting
|
||
from Licensor'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 this exclusion and limitation may not
|
||
apply to You.
|
||
|
||
9) Acceptance and Termination. If You distribute copies of the Original Work
|
||
or a Derivative Work, You must make a reasonable effort under the
|
||
circumstances to obtain the express assent of recipients to the terms of this
|
||
License. Nothing else but this License (or another written agreement between
|
||
Licensor and You) grants You permission to create Derivative Works based upon
|
||
the Original Work or to exercise any of the rights granted in Section 1
|
||
herein, and any attempt to do so except under the terms of this License (or
|
||
another written agreement between Licensor and You) is expressly prohibited by
|
||
U.S. copyright law, the equivalent laws of other countries, and by
|
||
international treaty. Therefore, by exercising any of the rights granted to
|
||
You in Section 1 herein, You indicate Your acceptance of this License and all
|
||
of its terms and conditions. This License shall terminate immediately and you
|
||
may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to You by this License upon
|
||
Your failure to honor the proviso in Section 1(c) herein.
|
||
|
||
10) Termination for Patent Action. This License shall terminate automatically
|
||
and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to You by this
|
||
License as of the date You commence an action, including a cross-claim or
|
||
counterclaim, against Licensor or any licensee alleging that the Original Work
|
||
infringes a patent. This termination provision shall not apply for an action
|
||
alleging patent infringement by combinations of the Original Work with other
|
||
software or hardware.
|
||
|
||
11) Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. Any action or suit relating to this
|
||
License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction wherein the
|
||
Licensor resides or in which Licensor conducts its primary business, and under
|
||
the laws of that jurisdiction excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. The
|
||
application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
|
||
International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any use of the Original
|
||
Work outside the scope of this License or after its termination shall be
|
||
subject to the requirements and penalties of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C.
|
||
<EFBFBD> 101 et seq., the equivalent laws of other countries, and international
|
||
treaty. This section shall survive the termination of this License.
|
||
|
||
12) Attorneys Fees. In any action to enforce the terms of this License or
|
||
seeking damages relating thereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
|
||
recover its costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
|
||
attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with such action,
|
||
including any appeal of such action. This section shall survive the
|
||
termination of this License.
|
||
|
||
13) Miscellaneous. This License represents the complete agreement concerning
|
||
the 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.
|
||
|
||
14) Definition of "You" in This License. "You" throughout this License,
|
||
whether in upper or lower case, means an individual or a legal entity
|
||
exercising rights under, and complying with all of the terms of, this License.
|
||
For legal entities, "You" includes any entity that controls, is controlled by,
|
||
or is under common control with you. For purposes of this definition,
|
||
"control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or
|
||
management of such entity, whether by contract or otherwise, or (ii) ownership
|
||
of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial
|
||
ownership of such entity.
|
||
|
||
15) Right to Use. You may use the Original Work in all ways not otherwise
|
||
restricted or conditioned by this License or by law, and Licensor promises not
|
||
to interfere with or be responsible for such uses by You.
